It's a main dish when the hubby is in the field or deployed. It's a side when he's at home, although, truthfully, that doesn't happen because we don't tend to eat mac-n-cheese when he's home. We usually stick to a protein and a veggie. And by veggie, I do mean something green. I had to chuckle about the Luby's or Cracker Barrel menus that list mac-n-cheese as a veggie. :p

To me it is a main dish. It has enough protein and calories to be one. Besides, I'm vegetarian.

what if you cut up some hot-dogs to throw in there?

A heart attack waiting to happen? Not like that's ever happened to us. And by us, I mean me, naturally.

Well then it's not "just" mac and cheese, you're treading into casserole territory.

Good. It makes it good.

cool.

i made casserole (almost, i don't have one of those rectangles)

When I was little - main

Now, side - most often with a pork dish, somehow cheesy noodles just go well with pork tenderloin. MMH Good!!

Vote early and often...
 

side dish

Well, it makes me hungry, if that helps!
:rolleyes:

If I order mac and cheese this weekend it's your fault cuteASAbug!:)

I'll make sure you do. If you don't, then I will.

From Scratch with real cheese --- Side
Blue Box --- Not worth serving or eating

Definitely a main dish. I would never go through all that trouble for a side dish.


..I'm definitely a student, eh?

But... but... it's the cheesiest! ;)
