What’s a good combination of food paired with mac and cheese?

I’m making dinner and I need to form a meal around mac and cheese?
So some form of protein and whatever…

Cheese is a protein. I like baked potates with macoroni cheese. You can use the cheese sauce over the potato. And it provides a good, healthy (with no butter) accompaniment to fill you up. Cheap also. And delicious and easy to do.

What do you suggest for the chicken?
Recipe, flavor, something…

Or if you insist on another protein, then a simple, plain griled port chop goes great with the cheesy sauce.

chicken florentine is really easy. you just get heavy whipping cream, chopped spinach and some tomatoes on top if you want.

I think that you already have a sauce with the macaroni cheese, so do a baked potato and/or a simple grilled pork chop, and you are sorted. Could also add some boiled or steamed broccoli, which will be super healthy and tasty.

Haha.

Honestly, there’s two Annons going at you. Sorry =/

I think a regular chicken breast would be nice.

That’s what my mom made all the time before I became a vegetarian.

Umm…

Cook it with onions and green peppers. I’ve been told that’s really good.

Live fry the onions and peppers then put the chicken in.
