My GERD spontaneously combusted just looking at this picture.

That's almost what my dinner is going to be: boxed mac with sliced up smoky links, extra cheddar, and chopped up yu choy (chinese broccoli).
Why use boxed Mac and cheese as a base, though?
Because it's dirt cheap and I'm hungover.

Yesterday I grabbed a case of beer, a pack of cigarettes and some tinned fish and dedicated my day to cleaning and organizing my workshop. I fought until 5:30 in the morning and made tremendous progress.
This was after I could see the surface of half of my work bench.

I like your chest of drawers. It’s very cute.
My partner and I are almost recovered from being horribly sick. We drank maybe nine or ten claws, did six shots of vodka, and… I’m not even sure what we did last night, other than it was fun. Definitely watched Wild at Heart, at least mostly, and watched Brutalmoose for a while.
Today I have felt like I was dying all day. Food was impossible. Ended up ordering soup. The soup was good.
Cheaper and far faster than making Mac and cheese from scratch is my bet.
I dunno, I wouldn't think a cooking sub would consider making a mornay sauce and boiling some noodles to be a real heavy burden. As for the cost maybe? The cheese would be the most expensive component but I think it's probably worth the upgrade to go from powdered cheese to real cheese.
Me replying: Sometimes it's the preparation outside the box. You noticed the additional ingredients and processes, right? Cooking is cooking.

Save some cilantro for the rest of us.
to add some variety i like to stir in some hot sauce or BBQ sauce or even some chili-p to give the mac a little zing!
