This comment is a declaration of war against Canada
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 amount of ketchup on anything is too much.
Any ketchup on Mac and Cheese is too much if you are older than twelve.
Use Sriracha like an adult.
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.
Do you like fish sticks?
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
I haven’t met a Yucateco that doesn’t slap, but the Black Label Reserve Chile Habanero is next level.
It's SO good! Especially on anything with vegetables in.
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?
We dont defile macaroni and cheese here so zero.
Any amount of ketchup on mac n cheese is too much
None that’s gross
agreed.
Nope. I don't like this. No thank you.
Any ketchup on mac and cheese is too much ketchup.
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.
Northern countries should be banned from importing ketchup, they only use it to commit sins and atrocities. Norway has some explaining to do.
The answer is hot sauce
Ketchup is like garlic...you don't measure it with your eyes, you measure it with your heart.
garlic in mac n cheese is good
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.
True, I would use bbq but not ketchup
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
Any is too much, everyone knows ketchup properly belongs on peanut butter sandwiches.
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.
As an American of a certain age, as soon as I saw the post title I heard "Ode oten doten day..." in my head.
Well that was fan fucking tastic.
I top my mac and cheese up with tonic and finish it with a float of St. Germaine.
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?
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
Maybe a tsbp so the can stragicially use it as a dip spot for each bite.
Nobody can tell you the right amount for you. If you like the amount you use, great.
