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

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

Any amount of ketchup on anything is too much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The right amount of ketchup on Mac and cheese is zero

This comment is a declaration of war against Canada

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

The Leafs suck and Qubec waters down their maple syrup

—That’s a declaration of war against Canada

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

The right amount of Kraft Mac and Cheese is also zero.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

We dont defile macaroni and cheese here so zero.

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

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

Use Sriracha like an adult.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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] 6 points 4 months ago

Do you like fish sticks?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Now I need to know what else you put ketchup on

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Despite my love and appreciation for the Barenaked Ladies, one should just drink fancy Dijon ketchups and not bother with the Kraft Mac and Cheese to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 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] 4 points 4 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But we can agree that allspice is amazing, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 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] 1 points 4 months ago

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] 1 points 4 months ago

The answer is hot sauce

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the amount of mac, surely? Are we talking an aluminum pan for a party, or just a bowl for one person?

Either way if you can get your hands on some Whataburger Spicy Ketchup you should try using that.

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
