Macaroni Cheese

[flubber]

Any suggestions to what to serve this with? Seems a bit boring just dolloping it on a plate all on it's own.

[Morticiah]

I serve it up with Gammon or Bacon (which is no good if you are a veggie).

How about some Green Salad?

garlic bread.

Bacon sounds good. I am planning menus for visitors who will be here for two weeks and a lot of my meals will have a mixed side salad. I don't want them going home having grown two long front teeth!

I normally melt the cheese in milk and add a chopped onion and 2 teaspoons of colemans mustard powder then add it to the cooked macaroni in a dish that already has cooked spinach in the base. It makes for some colour (great for getting green bits wedged in your teeth too) so maybe some bacon diced and crispy and a pretty looking tomato on the side would look good?

and garlic bread on a plate to mop up the juices? Ok I am sold - thank you both!

[Bohne]

I'd like it with Ruccola Salad, please.

beetroot yum yum !

Bacon, onion and mushrooms with French Mustard stirred into the sauce and some nice crispy fried breadcrumbs over the top. I'm now feeling hungry!!!!

Try making it with Gruyere cheese - a lovely nutty flavour and instead of just cauliflower add some broccolli - improves the goodness and taste and adds some lovely colour.

We have it with bacon and tinned tomatoes that have had a bit of chilli powder stirred in. Yum!

Oi - I don't want the ingredients, I want a side dish to go with it.

I really wish you lot had not given me your choice of ingredients but now you have so gimmie a side dish to go with it all eh?

I am down to bacon or salad or garlic bread.

[flubber]

okies - bacon and mushrooms it is and maybe some tinned tomatoes then I have taste and colour..........

Alijangra, sprouts???I already have had some, thank you .........(fifty years ago)

Make sure the bacon is grilled crispy first before adding to cheese mixture. Wafer thin ham is a good standby in the freezer, used snipped as an alternative to the bacon.

Server with loads of finely chopped parsley. Personally I don't think salad goes too well with Macaroni Cheese, garlic slices or a crusty baguette is better.

[alijangra]

Nowt wrong with sprouts!! My fave veg actually. :)

[flubber]

Cetti - yes, yes, yes-yes-yes :)

[Binky]

Some crusty french bread.

Roasted vegetables.

pork chops

[Matheous]

Homemade thick-cut CHIPS -perhaps done in olive oil???

[jessiedog]

A sick bag

Or cut out the middleman and dump it straight in the bin.

[o8sp]

i would go with garlic bread too. yum

[flubber]

Yes I am going to try it in the next few days having bought some really strong cheddar.

How about some sauteed vegetables in garlic and ginger with a dash of sesame oil (broccoli, bell peppers carrots).

just broccoli sauteed in galic and ginger is delicious

or a green salad on the side.

You could also do baked chicken or fried chicken.
