Mac and cheese with roasted broccoli offers an invigorating experience to your taste buds. But here I am not talking just about how to eat macaroni and cheese, but about some novel and unconventional ways you can try using the delicious Mac-cheese combo.

Make A Mac & Cheese Burger

Burgers are very versatile and hence you can try including Mac n Cheese in the burger. Instead of the cutlets, use these and top with little red paprika and few drops of lemon juice. Use cucumber, spinach, chard, tomatoes and fresh cilantro leaves and enjoy each and every bite.

Macaroni – Cheese Sandwich

Sounds very interesting, right? This is a healthy snack for the kids who love Mac and cheese. Use whole wheat bread and use this as a spread. Top with fresh fruits and vegetables. The savory and sweet combo makes this ideal as a party finger food also.

Mac and Cheese Spring Rolls

Spring rolls, vegetarian and chicken, are excellent party finger foods. Give the traditional spring roll stiffing a tweak by including macaroni and cheese. Mix the prepared Mac n Cheese with veggie stuffing. Add little red paprika sauce and use it as stuffing. Eat with a creamy dip.

Mac – Cheese Samosa

Samosa is a common Indian snack. While vegetables like potatoes, onions, capsicum etc are used for stuffing you also get chicken and mutton samosas also. But have you heard or mac & cheese samosas? Add tomatoes and mashed potatoes to the prepared mac and cheese and use it as the filling for samosas.

Chocolaty Mac & Cheese

Chocolates with Mac and cheese? Truly unconventional! Once your Mac n Cheese is ready, melt milk chocolate and pour over the prepared dish. Toss well and relish each mouthful. But beware! Don’t use dark chocolate or you will end up having a bitter taste. This is a good dessert for any party.

So, next time your kids ask for macaroni and cheese, try these ideas, and surprise them.
