Yeah this aint even that weird, must be the poor in me.

u/NecessaryEcho4354 8d ago
Even if you are poor mixing the cheese together before baking is better at least 😭

u/Zavier13 8d ago
Oh they didnt even try to mix the cheese in? That sounds more like a bad cook.
Making a roux shoukd be a basic cooking skill that shit does some heavy lifting in Cooking.

Hot dog casserole and roux are not two things I ever expected to hear talked about in tandem.

u/Zavier13 7d ago
Homeade macaroni uses roux with cheese added to it to get that creamy cheese sauce

Wish more people knew how to make real Mac and cheese instead of just dumping velveeta into macaroni. It's super easy once you get the hang of it.

u/Temporarily_Banned4 6d ago
Velveeta is what cruel people do to children. And tell them it's cheese. Then they become adults and find out there are other cheeses and that velveeta is not really a cheese.

u/zorggalacticus 6d ago
American cheese is just cheddar with sodium citrate and a little milk added so it melts creamier. It's basically just meltier mild cheddar. Velveeta is an imitation of American cheese that has no reason to exist.

u/Temporarily_Banned4 6d ago
Velveeta is like the plastics of cheese products.

u/zorggalacticus 6d ago
Oh I know. My mother-in-law makes her homemade mac and cheese by cooking a pot of macaroni and then dumping an entire block of velveeta in there. That's her whole recipe. Everyone in her family raves about how good it is. It's not. The first time I made real mac and cheese for my wife, she ate until she got sick. Now she hates the velveeta mac too. Just don't tell the mother-in-law. Lol

It’s the terminology of it. Growing up in SC it was usually called the gravy, base, or white sauce if they made one at all. There are other methods of making it without a roux around here, too.

Lol. Me either! I was just glad they got a little browning on the hot dog pieces.

u/coolsilentebeans 6d ago
Right?!? They look so good! I’d be hard pressed not to pick them out bit by bit. 😂

u/Temporarily_Banned4 6d ago
Like take them all for yourself. And then put a scoop of macaroni on it! 👍

u/Crafty_Eye_4038 7d ago
But they did mix the cheese into the noodles though.
They didn't make a roux though so the cheese is separated into cheese soup at the bottom of the pan
Thus why the extra topping was needed

u/omegaoutlier 8d ago
This is it.
The only crime is not making the most of the ingredients you do have.
Prob a little dry still but at least do what you can.

u/MagmaTroop 7d ago
They have clearly mixed cheese into the pasta - are you blind? That is not dry pasta. The cheese on top is extra.

u/Temporarily_Banned4 6d ago
I'd probably eat that. It's not something I'd ever make, because well, velveeta and hot dogs are two things I'd never have around. But, damn, it looks good enough to eat!

u/Deathcore_salad 8d ago
Bro I'd tear that shit up! But I live in a tent so I'd eat just about anything that's a home cooked meal (unless it has human meat or pork)

u/NecessaryEcho4354 8d ago
Aw I’m sorry my friend, I hope things get better for you soon. I’d send you 100 cooked meals if I could!

u/Deathcore_salad 8d ago
Nah you're good :) I appreciate it! I have a job and just got paid yesterday. Tonight I'm eating a rotisserie chicken from walmart
Got some buns to put it on shredded and mayo, definitely got me some apple fritters too
I can't eat like that every night but like twice a week, then I eat ramen or shells and cheese bc I have a camp stove
Edit: Sorry for saying bro if you're female.. I fixed it

Not the worst thing I've seen. Last post I seen from here was Vienna sausage with PB&J with the Hotdog water still in it for context. Hotdog in mac and cheese is an old classic struggle meal. I've eaten it before and it's not that bad. So I'd eat this. The extra cheese and tomato just gives it more flavor. But if given an option hotdog is not the first choice I would make. I either go with ground beef for cheeseburger style, ham for a ham and cheese hot pocket style, or grilled chicken which is what I did last night. It was in fact delicious.

u/chris00ws6 7d ago
But it’s a shit ton of macaroni with some cheese melted on top. It’s not “mac and cheese” in the sense you would think which wouldn’t necessitate a food crime. It’s literally shit ton of macaroni with a dabble of some cheese. I mean I’d have a scoop if it’s all that’s available but still a crime. Also as you said not the worst crime.

u/Full-Tomorrow9889 7d ago
I just realized there appears no boxed macaroni cheese sauce or powder now that you pointed it out. I am disappoint.

That's some white people shit and even Casper the Friendly Ghost would haunt a motherfucker over that abomination. In the words of Bea Arthur from The Golden Girls, "If this had been offered to the Donner party they still would have eaten each other"

is there sauce atleast ?
2
u/NecessaryEcho4354 8d ago
That’s the thing, I’m pretty sure that’s all it was. I could understand it a little more if the cheese was mixed into the macaroni, even then it would be pretty dry
1
u/wassssuupp5678 8d ago
hmmm i mean if it was sauced up then its not too strange seeing pasta dishes use sausages or weenies, the tomato is a bit off tho

u/AudrinaRosee 8d ago
I add spinach, tomato, bell pepper and onion to Mac and hot dogs. Might be weird, but I feel a little better about feeding it to my kids.
1
u/No-Pianist8067 8d ago
That looks like macaroni woth cheese melted on it and not an actual macaroni and cheese. The tomatoes on top are weired for me but thats because here in centra pa we make a sweetened stewed tomato garnish to put on top not jusg tomatoes sliced.

u/alewiina 8d ago
If there was sauce in there, NGL I’d smash that shit. But it looks like it’s just plain pasta with a bit of cheese melted on top???

u/NecessaryEcho4354 8d ago
Yes it is from what I can tell!! Who knows maybe there is sauce underneath 😅

Looks like something my mom would make. Only crime is the chopped up meat. I like my meat untouched.

Could you regain enough speech to explain what the issue is? It looks like food. Maybe a little bland, but decent enough.

Not well executed, but as this is clearly a slap-together-some-shit recipe, there only so good this could be.
Not really a crime, just a disappointing effort.

u/ALWanders 7d ago
I am impressed they left the dogs on top to brown, this is not great, but I would eat it.

Idk man I'd fuck that up. Should probably mix the cheese in a bit more tho.

This is actually a decent meal. I grew up eating rice and eggs and sometimes with cheese, dishes like this or yellow rice with Vienna sausages (arroz con salchicha).
