Yea we put ham too, sometimes spam, sometimes bacon. It’s really versatile tbh. We even have other variations like Cheeseburger Macaroni that nearly crosses the line into its own dish.
But, I have never EVER heard of raisins going into it before and it sounds disgusting.
If done well, buffalo chicken mac and cheese is great, too.
Unfortunately most restaurants do a garbage job with it. They just add the chicken and hot sauce into the mac and cheese and let it sit in a pan until someone orders it. This needs to be made fresh when it’s ordered or it just turns into mediocre mush.
They all always screw up buffalo chicken dip, too. That’s even worse because it’s so easy to make right.
Rotisserie chicken
Hot sauce, half a cup to a full cup depending on what you like
Block of cream cheese
Bag of sharp cheddar.
Packet of ranch seasoning. Don’t use ranch dressing, it’ll make it too watery.
If you like blue cheese, grab a small block or, if you’re lazy, grab a little container.
Use two forks to shred up all the breast meat on the rotisserie. Make the shreds varying in consistency - some should be very fine, some should be normal shredded chicken, some should be little chunks.
Slice the cream cheese into small strips. If you’re using a block of blue cheese, remove the rind and crumble it. I like to use a knife for this because it’s quicker.
Grab a large pan. Throw the chicken and hot sauce in. Set it to medium and mix. When it starts simmering, add everything but the blue cheese. Mix it up until it’s all melted and combined. If you have blue cheese, add it now and keep mixing until you’re happy with it.
Turn off the stove. It’s ready now and you’re about to have some fantastic fucking buffalo chicken dip.
Traditional American Mac and Cheese is a dish that consist of macaroni noodles that have been baked in a bechamel based cheese sauce and topped with bread crumbs.
If we put anything else in it, we tell you, just as you do with the addition of ham to the name.
When you will die, you will have to spend at least one week in an Italian hell, where you will be forced to learn how to cook a proper pizza with a Napolitan Nonna.
Calm down, 'Muricans. We didn’t lose our shit when you replaced the Spatzen in Kässpatzen with Macaroni and the cheese in Kässpatzen with fatty, gloopy cheddar “sauce”. You can bear this one.
We're dumb and very deserving of ridicule, but let me correct you anyway.
Macaroni and Cheese was introduced to the US by James Hemings, a man enslaved by Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd president), after returning from Italy, where he learned how to do pasta stuff because Tommy just loved noods.
Interesting. Mac and cheese, it seems, evolved from the pasta and cheese casserole dishes of Italy and England popular around the 14th and 15th century. While kasspatzen seems to have originated from around the areas of southern Germany with no mention of it as a dish until about the 1700’s.
First of all: Don’t you think Kässpatzen “evolved from” something, too? Like… both are “cooked dough stuff with cheese”
And secondly: your argument is not the counter you might think it is. The core of my argument was that Mac and Cheese are a downgrade to the food it came from. It doesn’t matter, if the origins are in Italy or Germany, the argument stands. Slopping fat with cheese flavor on pasta is nothing one could claim any culinary high ground with
And lastly: we all agree that this is some light hearted, friendly banter here, and not some patriotic conflict about cultural superiority, right?
Yeah sure, I don’t care. But the Italians in the other room might lose their shit if they find out the Germans ruined their casserole with unholy German egg noodles.
