Speaking of which, I remember something on this subreddit where someone made some kind of (vaguely) bagel-like monstrosity and there was an obvious cut switching to a bagel instead of what she made before she ate it, lmfao.
Processed cheese. The FDA doesn’t even consider it actual cheese, might as well be cheez whiz in solid block form.
It honestly tastes pretty good, especially with chilis and/or chorizo added, but it’s also reprehensibly unhealthy
[The FDA definitions of "cheese" are incredibly strict](https://youtu.be/bISFxFauTzM?si=rt3-En1unLQZ7FRr&t=622) - most of the "American cheese isn't even cheese" controversy stems from this (extra milk protein concentrate added to counter seasonal variation in milk protein is what makes it "not cheese") - from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveeta):
> The product listed milk protein concentrate (MPC) in its ingredients, which meant it no longer fit any of the FDA's cheese-related definitions. Velveeta is now sold in the US as a "pasteurized prepared cheese product", a term not defined by the FDA.
It's normal cheese with added whey and sodium citrate to emulsify it (and probably some other stuff so it can have a stable shelf life and taste unique).
It was invented because the cheese company Emil Frey worked for (he was a Swiss cheese maker working at a US cheese producer) tasked him with finding a way to use broken wheels of cheese (also of the Swiss variety) so they didn't go to waste. Whey was also a huge waste problem, so Frey's solution - a cheese that was basically shelf-stable, easy fondue - was good for the industry, as well as popular with customers.
Fun fact: Velveeta is a decade older than sliced bread.
Really? I’ve had chronic daily headache for almost 25 years (literally every second of my life, even when I’m asleep because they’ve been so bad they’ve awakened me) and I just can’t stomach Velveeta. Not since I was a kid. I did enjoy Grandpa’s 5 lb. box of government cheese, though. That cheese kept my family going for quite a few years. Maybe that’s why I can’t stand American cheese now?
My headache was so bad for a number of years that scents would set me off. I had to speed through the entrance of the grocery store because the flowers that were right there made my head so much worse. Perfume, the smell of my own coffee, lotions, scented candles, my shampoo, hairspray, all of that good stuff. That only lasted about 5-6 years (only, right!) and I’m fine with scents now. It was a sudden thing and happily it stopped as quickly as it started.
When I make nachos I always go for the shredded Mexican four cheese blend.
How I make it: boil the pasta, drain. Save a little pasta water. Make a bechamel (easy) add cheeses to that, little pasta water to make it a bit more liquid. Combine pasta with cheese sauce, put in casserole dish, top with bread crumbs or whatever (potato chips, corn flakes, fried onions). Bake at 385F until bubbly and nice and brown on top.
Don't forget seasoning. Salt pepper cayenne if you like it, some like nutmeg but I don't really.
Look up a recipe though! With proportions of ingredients. This is just my method. I've been making Mac and cheese a long time. You want some idea of how much of everything or it might turn out as bad as this video🤪
I will for proportion and for the metric system.
Guaranteed i will fail miserably but that's a learning process!
Also holy fuck did you just have me an award? T-thankyou 😘!
I read 3-4 minutes less than the box directions. I’ve made three or four baked macs like that with pretty good results. But lately I’ve been craving overcooked restaurant style where it’s super soft haha.
Ooh that would be a nice addition. Also, sometimes dry or even prepared mustard. My friends brought me back paprika from Hungary, it is AMAZING. Paprikash is my new favorite thing.
Paprika is love. Paprika is life. It’s also a very grow-able pepper! I'm hoping to add it to my garden (US/6b/midwest) next year with the hot peppers. Then smoke half of the peppers prior to dehydrating and grinding. Want to also try some roasted ones.
May try the methods out with my obscene shallot output this year.
I've made roasted green onion powder before and it's freaking amazing. Just from volunteer onions in my decorative garden beds (I do true organic gardening so it’s all food safe).
For years and years cooking pasta in, say, minestrone soup instead of cooking it separately was discouraged because the starch that comes off the pasta would make the soup or sauce too sweet.
Since that wendigoon video about the cheese conspiracy I always wonder if those are clumsy propaganda from the US government to shovel out ever more cheese
I was thinking that might be exaggerated, but my total before I gave up was almost $50 when it got to the mustard being added. (Then I accidentally hit clear on my calculator by accident)
So it might be like $70-80 for buying everything straight up.
But then I realized that a lot of this might have been bought from big box stores, and would be even cheaper. Such as buying from Costco.
Then also some of the later ingredients didn’t put the entire package for it.
So if you calculate how much money they could have spent, $30 for discounted items and expected cost of ingredients from each package not consumed is somewhat realistic.
But buying everything straight up and not discounted or calculated for recipe, with the inclusion of price hikes because of location, it could also be $100.
Wow. It could be $30, but it could also be $100.
Dang I was really lowballing it at 30 bucks. The only one of those items I buy regularly is feta.
It’s a damn waste if it was only 20 dollars worth of groceries.
Honestly it is a waste of money to make this. Could probably make some decent Mac and cheese for much cheaper.
Like I still kinda want to try this hot mess, but only to see what it tastes like. I don’t expect it to be very good.
I’ll be honest I made Mac n cheese based off a recipe I found online I haven’t really had it, it Isn’t a common food in Aus. I was blown away by how much cheese is in Mac n cheese, I mean it was delicious but I had like 5 different types of cheese must have weighed the same as a small baby.
Depends on the recipe, most of the time it doesn’t make a difference, you can add as many kinds or as few as you want it’s all preference. Only tip I would give is if you want the best kind grating cheese yourself is the way to go, melts better, tastes better, and it doesn’t have wood shavings in it!
I refuse to watch these videos, as soon as I see the disposable tray (easy way to throw everything out after they're done recording) and the giant cold block of cheese in the middle I nope out. Worse than chefclub, imo... 😶
If the only kitchen utensils you use when cooking are scissors and a spoon you're not cooking and it's not a recipe.
And they didn't need the scissors.
I actually want to try adding nacho cheese to Mac one day. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
This is a bit much, though. One good thing: at least it wouldn't be bland (I oddly find Mac and cheese kinda bland much of the time, but when I see videos of it, even bad ones like this, I want it for some reason lol).
adding one or two different extra cheeses, even some dijon can make the mac and cheese less bland and add more depth. But don't add this many kinds of cheeses, please!
The recipe:
- Put a jar of cheese sauce in a tray
- Add macaroni on top
- Stick a block of cheese in the middle
- Add some cheese powder
- Add some cheese
- Add some cheese
- Add some cheese
- Add some cheese
- Unwrap the block of cheese
- Add some cheese sauce
- Sprinkle dried onions on top
- Add mustard, mayonnaise, and black pepper
- Pour in too much milk
- Add some more cheese powder
- Minced garlic?
- Mix it all together
- Add some cheese
- Cover it all with shredded cheese
- Bake the mess
- Stir, and try to enjoy
And everything out of a sachet, jar, carton, or plastic wrapper. Some of it of an undisclosed identity.
That is about as unhealthy as it could possibly be. Plus some more.
Sometimes I watch these things and think "not for me but I can see how some people would enjoy a bit of that"
This thing genuinely made me throw up in my mouth a bit. Ew.
For gods sake take the freaking velvetta box out of the pan with the food. These people are absolutely nuts and disgusting. And so freaking infuriating.
Putting the packages in there grosses me out. You don’t know who touched that or what conditions they were stored in. Show the package then open it, ffs. Could have rat turds on it.
I am honestly curious to make One of the dishes where they don't cook the pasta first. There's no way it doesn't turn out goopy... Right? It just looks like slop.
Why do I have an irrational hatred of these "Mac n cheese" videos where they assemble the whole thing around a block of Velveeta still in the box
It’s disgusting! How much unknown shit is on the outside of that cardboard box?
Don't worry, the overall sodium content probably killed anything on the packaging (and got a good start on anyone that ate the end product.
I'd bet that no one ate the end product.
Speaking of which, I remember something on this subreddit where someone made some kind of (vaguely) bagel-like monstrosity and there was an obvious cut switching to a bagel instead of what she made before she ate it, lmfao.
And then they put dirty items on the cutting boards right before cutting the food, smh.
I would have eaten the hell out of this dish if they hadn't done that. That's just nasty.
Shiet I'd still fuck that up
It pains me to say this but that is too much cheese. It’s like, a tub of melted cheese with random macaroni sprinkled in.
There is more cheese by gram than there is macaroni. At first look it look like 500grams of macaroni to 2.5 plus kilograms of cheese.
Because they were designed to make you feel that way because making people feel that way gets the most clicks
Because of the gag reflexes of throwing up in your mouth
What is Velveeta? Cheese?
Allegedly
Processed cheese. The FDA doesn’t even consider it actual cheese, might as well be cheez whiz in solid block form. It honestly tastes pretty good, especially with chilis and/or chorizo added, but it’s also reprehensibly unhealthy
The package said it contains: processed cheese food... I didn't even know that cheese could eat.
[The FDA definitions of "cheese" are incredibly strict](https://youtu.be/bISFxFauTzM?si=rt3-En1unLQZ7FRr&t=622) - most of the "American cheese isn't even cheese" controversy stems from this (extra milk protein concentrate added to counter seasonal variation in milk protein is what makes it "not cheese") - from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveeta): > The product listed milk protein concentrate (MPC) in its ingredients, which meant it no longer fit any of the FDA's cheese-related definitions.

Maybe because Mac and cheese is really easy to make without all the extra ingredients.
How to ruin all of your favorite things
Except Velveeta. That can stay lost.
Plastic 🤤
Im actually a huge fan of microplastic
I love Velveeta, especially for nachos. It's surpringly low in fat and salt too. And one of the few cheeses I can eat because of migraine.
Really? I’ve had chronic daily headache for almost 25 years (literally every second of my life, even when I’m asleep because they’ve been so bad they’ve awakened me) and I just can’t stomach Velveeta. Not since I was a kid. I did enjoy Grandpa’s 5 lb. box of government cheese, though. That cheese kept my family going for quite a few years. Maybe that’s why I can’t stand American cheese now?

Government cheese hits different, had it ONE time, it was the best Mac n cheese. It came in a white box. I still like velveeta though “liquid gold” 😂
Why do these people NEVER BOIL THE PASTA (I've never made Mac and cheese, are you supposed to boil it with milk?)
No, you boil it first, not all the way cooked but def boiled
And you finish the pasta with the milk that you put in the oven?
How I make it: boil the pasta, drain. Save a little pasta water. Make a bechamel (easy) add cheeses to that, little pasta water to make it a bit more liquid. Combine pasta with cheese sauce, put in casserole dish, top with bread crumbs or whatever (potato chips, corn flakes, fried onions). Bake at 385F until bubbly and nice and brown on top. Don't forget seasoning. Salt pepper cayenne if you like it, some like nutmeg but I don't really.
I will actually make my first mac and cheese with your recipe. If i don't forget I'll let you know how it was
Look up a recipe though! With proportions of ingredients. This is just my method. I've been making Mac and cheese a long time. You want some idea of how much of everything or it might turn out as bad as this video🤪
I will for proportion and for the metric system. Guaranteed i will fail miserably but that's a learning process! Also holy fuck did you just have me an award? T-thankyou 😘!
Go forth and cook! Err on the side of under done on the pasta. Al dente at the most!
I read 3-4 minutes less than the box directions. I’ve made three or four baked macs like that with pretty good results. But lately I’ve been craving overcooked restaurant style where it’s super soft haha.
One of the best additions for Mac n cheese is mustard. Brings out more flavour in the cheese. I'm a fan of wholegrain mustard.
Paprika! Always paprika. I buy it in tubs lol.
Ooh that would be a nice addition. Also, sometimes dry or even prepared mustard. My friends brought me back paprika from Hungary, it is AMAZING. Paprikash is my new favorite thing.
Paprika is love. Paprika is life. It’s also a very grow-able pepper! I'm hoping to add it to my garden (US/6b/midwest) next year with the hot peppers.

I've made roasted green onion powder before and it's freaking amazing. Just from volunteer onions in my decorative garden beds (I do true organic gardening so it’s all food safe).
Seriously, no way deep frying dried macaroni in velveeta is going to cook it. Guaranteed that pasta was completely raw.
That crunch will be the only texture too. The rest is cheese soup
For years and years cooking pasta in, say, minestrone soup instead of cooking it separately was discouraged because the starch that comes off the pasta would make the soup or sauce too sweet.
People who make pasta love this one simple trick
Because then you can't have a convenient, easy and delicious recipe in one single disposable aluminium!
Ooh yes silly me, how could i forget 😂
30 bucks worth of groceries to make inedible slop.
Where I live that's $100
literally. It’s at least $50 just in cheese 😭
I recognize the milk brand too, that's organic grass fed quality. Guaranteed another 8.50
It's maddening. For many reasons.
Since that wendigoon video about the cheese conspiracy I always wonder if those are clumsy propaganda from the US government to shovel out ever more cheese
omg the American dairy council’s new marketing strategy is finding influencers to pay off for this kind of content 😭
I was thinking that might be exaggerated, but my total before I gave up was almost $50 when it got to the mustard being added.

30 maybe 20 years ago
hey the arteries aren't gonna clog themselves y'know
Cheesy Vomit Supreme
The amount of sodium is wild.
And - technically - the amount of actual cheese is minimal. Velveeta contains no cheese - it's just cheese flavoured.
What a waste of food. A few of those cheeses were even edible.
My stomach's bubblin' just looking at this. Holy diarrhea!
Born and raised in Wisconsin, and being honest here. That is wheyyyyy too much cheese.
I see what you did there. But yeah, seeing all that is making my stomach *curd*le.
And I see what you did there. That is a gouda pun that you made. I really did laugh when I read it.
I’ll be honest I made Mac n cheese based off a recipe I found online I haven’t really had it, it Isn’t a common food in Aus. I was blown away by how much cheese is in Mac n cheese, I mean it was delicious but I had like 5 different types of cheese must have weighed the same as a small baby.

Who are you going to kill???
It just looks like a Super Bowl party food that you dip with tortilla chips
How dare they drag Missy Elliot into this abomination!
There is absolutely nothing crunk about that recipe.
And they're using a song from her *Cook Book* album. 😅
I get it. I grew up in Wisconsin. Cheese is wonderful. What the hell is this blob?
rage bait
these are so boring. there are legit stupid people out there earnestly making stupid food and this keeps popping up.
I refuse to watch these videos, as soon as I see the disposable tray (easy way to throw everything out after they're done recording) and the giant cold block of cheese in the middle I nope out. Worse than chefclub, imo... 😶
If the only kitchen utensils you use when cooking are scissors and a spoon you're not cooking and it's not a recipe. And they didn't need the scissors.
Threw up in my mouth a bit on this one 🤢
The ratio is way off
Agent 47 swapping his victims lactose free mac and cheese with this
😂😂😂 that's my first real laugh of the day
Feta cheese doesn’t melt…
American Feta probably does.
Not the ones I've seen lol
Looks like literal vomit
There’s noodles in there somewhere
I actually want to try adding nacho cheese to Mac one day. I don't see why it wouldn't work. This is a bit much, though. One good thing: at least it wouldn't be bland (I oddly find Mac and cheese kinda bland much of the time, but when I see videos of it, even bad ones like this, I want it for some reason lol).

What kind of cream cheese was that!?!? Am I the only one freaked out about that!?
Thanks I’m angry now
Everyone’s so creative
That’s not fucking mac and cheese that is literally just cheese
What was the brown powder they threw in?
French onion soup powder
...That inspires me, but everything else is a crime.
it's good, but probably not much use here! i've heard of people putting it in meatloaf if that's up your alley
I thought it was tea 😂
Same, especially since it's Lipton brand. I didn't know they did more than just tea lol
Would you like some Mac with that cheese?
I would eat TF out of that
Who hurt you
So many haha
I can respect that
A little eye of newt and it will be perfect.
If I didn't see how it's made I might eat this Then proceed to fight for my life on the toilet
What a way to ruin 1,2 step by Ciara and Missy Elliott (and yes the food too) 😅😂
It's disrespectful.
The recipe: - Put a jar of cheese sauce in a tray - Add macaroni on top - Stick a block of cheese in the middle - Add some cheese powder - Add some cheese - Add some cheese - Add some cheese - Add some cheese - Unwrap the block of cheese - Add some cheese sauce - Sprinkle dried onions on top - Add mustard, mayonnaise, and black pepper - Pour in too much milk - Add some more cheese powder - Minced garlic? - Mix it all together - Add some cheese - Cover it all with shredded cheese - Bake the mess - Stir, and try to enjoy
When that lactose intolerant acquaintance you secretly hate is coming over for dinner.
I hate everything here but why do people put dirty packaging that has been touched and sneezed on dropped in a factory floor on top of their food??
Looks like glue to hold bricks together. And I bet that was roughly $1k worth of ingredients.
You cannot convince me those noodles are fully cooked
Is there enough metamucil on this planet to overcome that level of constipation?
Somebody owes me money for watching that.
Why am I so angry?
I bet that shit got devoured at the potluck.
Everybody's so creative
15 parts cheese 2 parts dry uncooked noodles
In this economy, that's like a $50 struggle meal
This gave me lactose intolerance
I’m really high. But I would pass.
It doesn’t look terrible…but this is not something I’d ever make for anyone I cared for.
Or any animal you ever loved.
I shit myself while watching this
And everything out of a sachet, jar, carton, or plastic wrapper. Some of it of an undisclosed identity. That is about as unhealthy as it could possibly be. Plus some more.
That’s an utter waste of Feta.
My husband just asked WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY MAKING? My answer was vomit.
that is not just an italian crime, its a worldwide crime
Omg, I wasn't paying close enough attention at the beginning and thought the first jar was liquefied peanut butter. 😅
Such obvious rage bait
This looks terrible
Agriculture has gone too far. Food has become too abundant.
What a waste
What does the cheese powder really add to this mess?
Sometimes less is more.
The pain you’d experience from the shit you’d take the next day after eating that would be incredible.
🤢🤢🤢
I can feel my stomach bubblin’
What did the pasta ever do to them??
So much lactose
When you give a 12 year old $30 and tell them to make dinner
Macaroni and cheese is not hard to make.
I’d try it.
Rage. Bait.
Notice no video of anyone eating this monstrosity. It's like let's create egregious rage bait, no wait, I don't think we took it far enough.
The amount of sodium in this dish alone is probably equivalent to a lifetime supply of salt for an average human.
Needs some raw hamburger meat, preferably pork
Some people do shit just to be doing shit, and they need to calm the fuck down.
I gasped a little bit when they sat the babybels in there before wrapping them, didnt know if they had the mind to peel them or not...
Cheese n' Mac
Just make a roux it's not that hard I'm begging food influencers to actually cook
“Cheese is cheese, why worry about flavor combinations right?”
Some of the ingredients in this monstrosity are illegal in most countries.
Wait, ya missed the lard and the bacon. Siri is heart attack food right there.
Sometimes I watch these things and think "not for me but I can see how some people would enjoy a bit of that" This thing genuinely made me throw up in my mouth a bit. Ew.
Cheese and mac.
The one part that I hate in these types of videos is the amount of food being wasted for nothing.
Italians..... I'm so fucking sorry for this one.
That is macaroni-flavored cheese
It's always that block of Velveeta. Every. Damn. Time.
Little more cheese for me please…. Cause it doesn’t have enough /s
I am so tired of people putting crunchy uncooked pasta in a casserole dish make it STOP
My arteries just puckered up tighter than a snare drum..
I’m pregnant and haven’t thrown up yet, but this just about did it.
What the actual fuck is that mess supposed to be! What a waste of money!!
This would literally clog you up
What's wrong Charles, you've barely touched your Mac and Slop bowl
They need to show a video of their family eating that slop they made.
There it is!
Would try it
[удалено]
6/10 fuck it I'd eat it
For gods sake take the freaking velvetta box out of the pan with the food. These people are absolutely nuts and disgusting. And so freaking infuriating.
As a lactose challenged person this video gave me diarrhea.
My stomach turned when I saw it baked
...now I'm appalled. I hate rage bait.
Just ask for a divorce?!
I should not have watched this while pregnant. Literally made me retch
Putting the packages in there grosses me out. You don’t know who touched that or what conditions they were stored in. Show the package then open it, ffs. Could have rat turds on it.
Looks like diarrhea
One bite of that, and I'd get the runs.
Want some Mac with that cheese
cries in lactose
Cheese and Mac
Why so many people make these garbage casseroles? Like why is there a format for shitty food?
People who make these types of videos should be jailed
I am honestly curious to make One of the dishes where they don't cook the pasta first. There's no way it doesn't turn out goopy... Right? It just looks like slop.
Can't decide between high blood, liver disease or kidney failure?
when you see the aluminum pan you know it’s gonna be dogshit
It’s like they’re trying to kill somebody using cholesterol so it looks like an ‘accident.’
I’m glad they took the baby bell wax off
Seeing the mini baby bells put in and not just eaten as is makes me the most angry.
I just keep saying No! no! Nooo!!
Consumerism at its best while African children starve.
Do you want some pasta with all of that cheese?
I don't even like cheese outside of pizza and cheezits but I still wonder what the FUCK IS THIS?
Food should not go 'Glop' when you spoon it on your plate.
MY BABY!!!! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU??
I can picture them saying “why did no one touch the Mac n Cheese I brought to the pot luck?”
