The best kind of macaroni and cheese, is the types of cheese you use. Sure, if you’re short on cheese or only like a certain flavor it will taste amazing. But try tricking your tastebuds and give them some sizzle with more variety of cheeses in your macaroni. Tuesday night I made mac’n’cheese and used FOUR types of cheese! Heaven in my mouth.
- Mozzarella
- Monterrey Jack
- Havarti with Jalepeno peppers (you know the kind, that are little specks of peppers?)
- Old cheddar
Add that up and you get this:
The key with having this macaroni and cheese isn’t eating it by itself, or even with ketchup. No no, you must go out and get some tomato juice. You’ll find these tiny cans of tomato juice in the apple juice/cranberry juice section of the grocery store. When I first cooked this for my boyfriend a few years ago, he was totally skeptical about having it with the tomato juice—which I assured him that I couldn’t have it without it. Now I have converted him, hahahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That was supposed to be an evil laugh.
Here’s the juice. I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately from the kitchen. We’ve changed our lighting in there, and it’s way “whiter” looking—it’s so much easier to SEE things.
Yum. The end.

Looks delish. I think I’ll cook some tonight. Everyone should try the tomato juice. Soooo much tastier with it.
Looks so good…I haven’t ever had mac and cheese with tomato sauce but I am willing to try it…I will let you know. :)
Nancy says: Definitely give it a go! Tip: I like the juice to be room temperature.
Do you drink the tomato juice with it? Lol I’m confused!
Nancy says: Jen really? lol You can see the sauce over the macaroni in the first photo. You pour it onto your supper.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Now you forced me to come to yours and stare at that mac -n-cheese like pavlovs dog! haha-looks delish!
Okay coming back to say (rather scream) HELL YES!!! This was amazing…and the tomato sauce totally elevated it to another level. I am telling everyone I know and now Keith and I will never eat it any other way. Dear lord….it’ s 8:30 in the morning and I want the leftovers for breakfast. My heart thanks you and my hips hate you!
