Mac and cheese is traditional Thanksgiving food.


For you. You forgot the caveat. And for someone else it’s lasagna. Traditions vary. I hate mac and cheese year round so it’s never on my talbe.

Tillamook makes a really good new frozen one that you can pass off as homemade.

Agreed, it's a great Thanksgiving food but your guests/family deserve real cheese.


Oh Please.

These other threads are taking about re-heating Monday turkey.

"deserve real cheese"

That's funny.


I'm the poster who's reheating turkey that's being cooked in a smoker today at a restaurant...YUM.

And even I'm using real cheese! $50 worth of Colby Jack and extra sharp cheddar. I just finished cooking two enormous pans that I can reheat tomorrow.


Why do you make everything a day in advance? Reheated mac & cheese is not great.


Everything tastes better the next day after it's had a chance to sit - especially casseroles, which is essentially what macaroni & cheese is.


Yeah. That’s why you see this option on every menu, from fine dining to fast food: “Extra charge for the same meal reheated from yesterday, because it tastes better”

No, dried out day old mac and cheese is only fit for the dog. How gross to serve to guests. They will know its old.

this. the people who think Mac & cheese is a Thanksgiving food/staple are the same people who don't want gruyere or whatever cheeses. Velveeta all the way for this crowd (or skip it!)

My DH nearly fainted when he heard I'm doing mac and cheese this year instead of mashed potatoes. I've always preferred stuffing, personally, but we're giving it a try this year too OP. I'm using the recipe from the Washington Post that looks pretty good.
