🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷How much ketchup on Kraft Mac and Cheese (KD) is too much? Like, I understand half a bottle is a lot, but how much do you use?
SatansMaggotyCumFartAny 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.
I wonder about Secret Aardvark Sauce.
Maybe a tsbp so the can stragicially use it as a dip spot for each bite.
BigFigThe right amount of ketchup on Mac and cheese is zero
That seems like not enough though.
Zero is arguably too much.
HEXN3Trm -rf’ing ketchup right now
If I had to choose between always eating ketchup on mac and cheese or ketchup just not existing, I’d delete ketchup from existence.
If your Mac n cheese/eggs need ketchup, you need to learn how to make Mac n cheese/eggs.
I mean I wouldn’t ruin the shittiest mac n cheese with ketchup. Fake cheese slice and some paprika and you’re edible.
This comment is a declaration of war against Canada
The Leafs suck and Qubec waters down their maple syrup
AmosBurton_ThatGuyThe leafs suck? Welcome honorary Canadian! Come join us on Tuesday to hopefully see the leafs choke yet again against Boston!
Oh and hollandaise sauce in place of brown gravy… there’s a real restaurant in Montreal that does that. Granted not the American cheese part.
I mean, hollandaise sauce is delicious, but to put that on poutine? Heresy!
I’m extremely disappointed that a restaurant would serve that anti Canadian garbage. A poutine is a sacred thing and should never be altered, that’s ground’s for the death penalty if you ask me.
tbf the maple syrup IS watered down, but it’s super weird because it’s literally the Mafia doing it.
Yeah. One one hand I guess i get it. But that the maple syrup mafia exists blows my mind.
Ce soir, we’re gonna boil you down….
Correct
The right amount of Kraft Mac and Cheese is also zero.
Tier 1 Build-A-Bear 🧸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
ZeppoNobody can tell you the right amount for you. If you like the amount you use, great.
wirelesswireI'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.
I'll bet powdered mustard would work well.
It does! I've used it a couple times as well, you just need to be really careful not to add too much. I couldn't tell you how much to use since I just eyeballed the amount I put in.
Apeman42It also helps if you want to add some shredded cheese. There’s an emulsifier in mustard that helps the cheese melt smoothly into the sauce.
NOT_RICKThe answer is hot sauce
👍Maximum Derek👍As an American of a certain age, as soon as I saw the post title I heard “Ode oten doten day…” in my head.
Kids In The Hall - Fattening Up Our Tapeworms (correct sync)
Well that was fan fucking tastic.
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 that’s gross
HubertManneagreed.
MxM111“A lot” and “too much” are not the same thing. Just saying.
NaClKnightNone. I use none. Kraft Msc is already bad but if I'm in the mood for something nostalgic there are a dozen other things i would add first
deegeeseAny ketchup on mac and cheese is too much ketchup.
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
Bro part of growing up is learning through trial and error. Try one amount. If you can’t trust yourself to remember the result, write it down. Then repeat with a different amount.
You can ask around for recipes but if your question is how much sauce per pasta (I’m fudging the definition of sauce here), there isn’t one standard.
Nope. I don’t like this. No thank you.
Your canadian friends only use the right amount if they dont use any ketchup at all.
Ketchup on actual dishes is a sin and Tue culinary admittance that your food tastes like shit and needs to be drowned in the allspice of condiments.
But we can agree that allspice is amazing, right?
Nothing wrong with either honestly, just that ketchup goes on fries and perhaps some other fried and/or grilled foods, but generally it has a very distinct and overwhelming flavor that drowns out whatever it is you are eating. Also why some chefs and grill dads will be offended when you ask for it, implying their food tastes so bad or bland it needs it.
I put ketchup on fish n chips because malt vinegar is disgusting foot water and my mind can not be changed.
Northern countries should be banned from importing ketchup, they only use it to commit sins and atrocities. Norway has some explaining to do.
LemmySoloHerI’m not a fan myself but I think the right amount of ketchup on Mac and cheese is generally how much you like.
But there is such a thing as too much. Ketchup is great because the sugar and salt makes it appealing. Start pouring it on and all of a sudden you’re guzzling down a lot of sugar and taking a dish high in sodium and exacerbating it. Not so bad every now and then but a constant high-sodium, high-sugar diet is rough for kidneys, blood glucose levels, etc.
There are also “no salt added” and “no sugar added” versions of ketchup but even still, a reasonable amount is just not pouring a ton on. For anyone eating the dish like twice a year, I’d say go nuts! But for those eating it regularly, make sure to enjoy yourself but also take care of yourself! I say this as someone that has a kidney issue in remission and was asked way back at my first appointment “how much sodium do you consume in a day?”
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.
This is a joke, right? Nobody actually puts ketchup on macaroni and cheese, right? No way. No way.
I picked it up in Canada and never stopped. I’m surprised it’s not more popular.
I think it can be fairly common with children
RivenI used to put sliced banana on my red rice… I know people who put lemon mayo on their red rice.
And they both sound good, people need to stop isolating foods.
spittingimageHell with that. Give me mixed veggies and I’ll sort them into tiny piles. Why would I want a forkful of different things all together?
Stilluhhhh halfa bottle??? hoping u have a tiny ass bottle cuz anything more than like 2 tablespoons is an insane amount of a plate of Mac and cheese
also no ketchup on box Mac, we aren’t serial killers
Vandals_handleAny is too much, everyone knows ketchup properly belongs on peanut butter sandwiches.
Now I need to know what else you put ketchup on
Fries, hotdogs, cheese sandwiches, brussel sprouts, burgers, normal things.
Brussels sprouts?! I wouldn’t consider that normal
Corn dogs and sausages too, it’s just delicious.
