Cooking Adventures Ep. 2

Once more with the macaroni and cheese, but this time I had a lot more than just 3 ingredients (as Agagooga pointed out). Oh wait, spices don’t count as an ingredient, do they? Either way, the chicken cheese macaroni had a more complex flavour than the previous corned beef casserole.

Cheddar cheese melted over macaroni and chicken.

Everything is yellow because I used Kraft Extra Sharp Cheddar which is a sunny orange colour. The more orange it is, the more aged it is, apparently. I decided that Emmenthal would be a strange addition and thus decided not to get too creative.

Ingredients:

Macaroni elbows

Chicken fillet

Cheddar cheese

All-purpose seasoning

Garlic Salt

Butter

Oil

Instructions:

Marinate chicken in salt and seasoning.

Cook macaroni. Drain.

Heat up oil.

Cook chicken.

Throw in macaroni, and butter.

Add cheese. Keep stirring to melt cheese into gooey goodness.

The final product: My co-tester said the chicken was a bit salty and tough. I admit to overcooking my meat because of a combination of a sensitive stomach and squeamishness towards raw meat. Also, the dish is terribly oily and probably qualifies for the “Heart Attack On A Plate” medal. On the other hand, it’s hard to go wrong with mac and cheese. And at least my version isn’t the insane self-tanner orange of the box dinner kind, despite the cheese coming from the same manufacturer as those neon meals.

    Well done. What can we graduate to next?

    Anyway you shouldn’t use expensive cheese for mac and cheese. Not only because it wastes money but because it doesn’t go.

    Like Cheese Fries use Velveeta, not Mozzarella
