This sponsored post is my own tasty opinion. The cookbook, Mac N' Cheese To The Rescue by Kristen Kuchar is bursting full of fun, ingenious & tasty Mac N' Cheese recipes for the family. My teen looked through the cookbook before I had the chance a few weeks ago. For the first time ever she said, "Can I have this cookbook?" so I said yes! Miss College girl will now have 101 recipes to try. She then went through the cookbook and picked out some new recipes for us to cook. I will be buying several copies of this cookbook to include as gifts for bridal showers and graduations!
This cookbook was created to "spice up everyone's favorite boxed comfort food" and sure to please any fan of mac n' cheese. All of the recipes use a box of mac n' cheese. If you make your own basic mac n' cheese then substitute the same amount as 1 box mix.
As with any of my cookbook reviews, I love sharing the chapters and a few of my favorite recipes.

Southern Fried Chicken Mac N' Cheese
Turn leftover fried chicken into an entirely different meal by adding it to man n' cheese. A touch of creamy ranch dressing completes the dish. Serves 4-5
Ingredients
1 box mac n' cheese
1 cup shredded leftover fried chicken
1/2 cup prepared creamy ranch dressing
Directions
- Cook the mac n' cheese as directed.
- Add the chicken and ranch dressing to the cooked man n' cheese, stirring until well blended.
Kitchen Notes- Use any type of chicken for this recipe. It is great to use with leftover roterseri chicken. My daughter topped hers off with bread crumbs from her mac n' cheese box. Remember you can use any type of Mac n' Cheese! Don't think this book is only for the box mix.

ReplyDeleteMy mother made Mac & Cheese by layering cooked macaroni, dusting of flour, a little black pepper and velveeta cheese; with 3 layers. Then you add enough milk until you can just see it. Bake at 350' until golden and bubbly about 1 hr. My grandmother used colby jack cheese in hers instead. Both good.

ReplyDeleteI have not usually ventured off the box version of Mac & cheese but I will add in cut up Canadian Bacon into the mix.
My favorite mac & cheese recipe is my moms. It uses three different kinds of cheese and everyone who tastes it, loves it!
