How do you like your KD?

[gottabekd]

Tuna+peas. Essentially Tuna Helper.

[JohnnyNipshank]

With BBQ sauce, cut up smokies and some feta

[henriksedin33]

plain, but the noodles gotta be nice and firm, and not too much milk so it drowns out the flavor. Dry and firm.

[BlAcKNoVa]

I don't use milk with mine. Just some butter/margarine (whichever I have), and a bit of ketchup.

[Jiggy_12]

Salt and pepper, occasionally some chopped ham.

I buy about one box per year. It sits in the cupboard until the unusual combination of milk in my fridge, margarine in my fridge and insane hunger occurs. Ketchup and pepper and Frank's are permanent residents in my kitchen so they always get added.

I admit that KD is edible and really not that bad. I just never get around to eating it. Every time I go to make it and realize that I don't have the necessary ingredients, I go to the store and end up buying ingredients to make real pasta, thus adding another month to the sentence of the lonely box of KD in my cupboard.

Ketchup and Tabasco with a dash of paprika.

Absolutely phenomenal. But only 2-3 times a year. That stuff does not do good things to your body as you get older.

KD+cream of mushroom soup+can of tuna

-Make the KD noodles (don't use any milk)
-Put in casserole bowl
-add soup and tuna, mix it up
-top with graded cheese
-bake in oven until cheese melts

It's AWESOME when you're drunk, especially with lots of ketchup or hot sauce

[Antithesis]

Ugh ... I used to eat KD 3 or so times a week at University during my starving-student days. It so traumatized me that I didn't eat it for four years afterward .... until I lost a bet to some of my students.

[Buff]

I used to eat sooo much KD that I get somewhat sick when I have it now. I can no longer eat the entire box, but I'm fine when I split a box with my wife and son.

I didn't try much with my KD. Tried it with ketchup but I didn't really like it. I did alter the ingredients a bit though. I would put in half the milk that it called for and about 25% more of the margarine.

[CaramonLS]

X2 Cheese.

I pour out just about half the noodles, then add the entire package of cheese.

No milk, just a bit of butter/marg.

Intense.

[habernac]

just regular. My mom's baked mac and cheese is amazing so I try to eat that more often.

Start with 2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup of butter. Microwave until butter is melted. Then add 2 tbsp of flour, 1/2 tbsp paprika, 1/2 tbsp cayenne, 1 tbsp dry mustard. Microwave after each ingredient to thicken. Then add 2 cups each of old cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Microwave and stir often. Add salt and pepper to taste if you wish.

While you're doing all of this, cook 3 cups of macaroni. When it has completed, pour half the macaroni in a casserole dish, then pour in half the cheese sauce and stir. Pour the other half of the macaroni in and then pour the other half of the cheese sauce on top (don't stir this time). I like to add some parmesan on top at the end ads well. Bake uncovered at 350F for 20 minutes and serve.

+1. I prefer it left in the box.

[jammies]

Just grate some cheddar in there and go. Although I only have about a box a year now.

When I was working with my brother out on the west coast he made it EVERY DAY for lunch. He still scarfs that stuff down at every opportunity, although now that he's married that's only when the wife isn't home.

[FlamesKickAss]

lemon pepper and/or salsa. so goo. i also dont like too much milk.

Cousin Eddie: I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, Clark?

Clark: You're the gourmet around here, Eddie.

I used to like it with ketchup, not anymore. I also like it with hotdogs.

This thread seemed eerily familiar especially after you posted this. Then I searched A thread called Food in a box posted 2 yrs ago was pretty much about KD and you posted this under it as well. I thought I was crazy at first and now I wonder why I can't remember important things like birthdays but I can recall threads from 2 years ago about Kraft Dinner which I've never even seen as I live in the states.

[ResAlien]

^Kraft Dinner = Mac and Cheese in the States. Same difference. Regardless, I'm rather boring I suppose. Just ketchup and chopped up hot dog. I love it and my 4 year old won't touch it to save her life. Just plain for her. It must be her mom's yankee blood ruining her taste buds or something.
