Why stuff them? The masala inside of the hot dogs tastes better because it does not get in the way of browning the outer sides. Give it a try 🙂

How to make restaurant style mac and cheese

  • Make the Mac and cheese according to the boxed instructions.
  • Keep the heat on low for the pot and add the finely chopped spinach.
  • Add the chunks of cream cheese (cut it off of the block or spoon it out of a container. You want to have chunks and not blend it in)
  • Add the jalapeños and milk
  • Then mix gently so the cream cheese does not break. The spinach will begin to wilt bc the macaroni and cheese should still be hot.
  • Place the Mac and Cheese in an oven safe pan.
  • Now you can make the bread crumbs.
  • Heat a small pot and add butter to it. Let it melt and add the Panko bread crumbs

Tips to make the best restaurant style macaroni and cheese

  1. If you pre-make this dish, then cover the pan with foil and bake for about 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven and then uncover and bake for 2-3 minutes. Or you can microwave it before placing it in the oven.
  2. You can use any pre-packaged Mac and Cheese for this recipe. I love Velveeta brand or Annie’s white cheddar shells
  3. Chop the spinach very finely so it wilts during the mixing process.
