I feel my Canadian friends use the right amount while my American friends are too conservative.

The Leafs suck and Qubec waters down their maple syrup

—That’s a declaration of war against Canada

The leafs suck? Welcome honorary Canadian! Come join us on Tuesday to hopefully see the leafs choke yet again against Boston!

BTW, to trigger a good chunk of Canadian's, just say you made a poutine but used kraft singles (aka American cheese) instead of cheese curds.

I hate myself for even typing that last part.

Any amount of ketchup on mac and cheese is too much.

Any ketchup on Mac and Cheese is too much if you are older than twelve.

Use Sriracha like an adult.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, I agree about spice. I mix habanero hot sauce with the ketchup. But the ketchup flavor is my favorite part... I'm a little over twelve.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Do you like fish sticks?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I prefer cayenne pepper on mac and cheese. The flavor profiles work well together, I don't like adding anything vinegary to M&C, and lord knows it could use some spice.

green habanero Yucateco legit slaps on a baked mac'n'cheese

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I haven’t met a Yucateco that doesn’t slap, but the Black Label Reserve Chile Habanero is next level.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's SO good! Especially on anything with vegetables in.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago

This is a joke, right? Nobody actually puts ketchup on macaroni and cheese, right? No way. No way.

Zero. The answer to this question is Zero. There is no amount of Ketchup that should be added to Kraft Dinner.

Why would you make your pasta taste like cheese and then make it stop tasting like cheese?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

We dont defile macaroni and cheese here so zero.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

Any amount of ketchup on mac n cheese is too much

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

There is NO pasta dish that should have catsup on it. None.

Nope. I don't like this. No thank you.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Any ketchup on mac and cheese is too much ketchup.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I've never known a Non-Canadian to put any on mac and cheese, which is of course the correct amount. You can make home made mac cheaper and more flavourfully than name brand KD.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Northern countries should be banned from importing ketchup, they only use it to commit sins and atrocities. Norway has some explaining to do.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

The answer is hot sauce

Ketchup is like garlic...you don't measure it with your eyes, you measure it with your heart.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

garlic in mac n cheese is good

[-] GregorGizeh 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Your canadian friends only use the right amount if they dont use any ketchup at all.

Ketchup on actual dishes is a sin and the culinary concession that your food tastes like shit and needs to be drowned in the allspice of condiments.

Alright, lot of people saying zero here, and I agree, but there is a fancy mac and cheese place that serves barbeque pork mac and cheese that is incredible. Barbeque sauce goes very well with mac and cheese even without the pork.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

True, I would use bbq but not ketchup

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I have no idea how big the bottles are you're using, but I can tell you.... half a bottle is way too fucking much.

That said, I think ketchup on Mac and cheese is absolutely disgusting, but dumping half a bottle of anything into anything is way too much

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Any is too much, everyone knows ketchup properly belongs on peanut butter sandwiches.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I've mixed quite a few things into mac & cheese. Ketchup has never been one of them.

Speaking of condiments, mixing about 1 tbsp of mustard (dijon works best, but regular yellow is fine too) into the cheese sauce helps bring out the cheese flavor, but doesn't make it taste like mustard.

Now I need to know what else you put ketchup on

As an American of a certain age, as soon as I saw the post title I heard "Ode oten doten day..." in my head.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Well that was fan fucking tastic.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I top my mac and cheese up with tonic and finish it with a float of St. Germaine.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Depends. Have you mixed in good stuff? Broccoli? Bacon? Peas? Extra cheese? Mustard?

If yes, then none. Savour the flavour provided by your culinary instigator.

If no, then maybe?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

None. I use none. Kraft Mac is already bad but if I'm in the mood for something nostalgic there are a dozen other things i would add first

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Maybe a tsbp so the can stragicially use it as a dip spot for each bite.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Nobody can tell you the right amount for you. If you like the amount you use, great.
