I would definitely do it again for parties. Since it was a little kids party I didn’t do any real “out there” or “fancy” toppings. I made and set out the mac and cheese in my large roasting pan, since that holds heat well but crock pots would work too! </p> <p>Toppings were:<br /> Cubed ham<br /> Broccoli<br /> Peas<br /> French fried onions<br /> Bacon<br /> Roasted red peppers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790070 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 08:32:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2790070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love just mac and cheese with hot dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790069 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 08:27:47 +0000 catgirl 2790069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsA: definitely planning on lots of bacon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790044 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 23:33:35 +0000 MrsA 2790044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did one last year for DD's party. Make about double the bacon you think...that went the fastest. I also did: sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheese, crabmeat, green onions, broccoli, and peas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790029 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 21:14:02 +0000 catgirl 2790029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790008 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 17:22:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2790008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pioneer Woman suggests: bacon, mushrooms, and Gorgonzola.</p> <p>I would also mix in sun dried tomatoes, and either kale or broccoli.</p> <p>Fun idea for a party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2790007 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 17:13:19 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2790007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bacon, caramelized onions, chicken(either chunks or shredded with bbq or buffalo sauce), ham, broccoli, shredded cheese </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2789991 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 16:01:29 +0000 gingerbebe 2789991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chunks of cooked chicken, bacon, steamed chopped broccoli, and hot sauce would be my quick and dirty version. </p> <p>If you wanted to jazz it up for vegetarians, I might also have roasted red peppers, olives, and sauteed mushrooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2789990 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 15:59:46 +0000 Mrs D 2789990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cant speak for a bar, but below are the items we like to mix in to our mac n cheese:</p> <p>Bacon<br /> Green Onions<br /> Pico de Gallo<br /> Taco Meat<br /> Broccoli<br /> Grilled Chicken<br /> Buffalo Chicken Stuff...blue cheese, hot sauce, chicken, celery...<br /> Peas &amp; Ham </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mac-and-cheese-bar#post-2789986 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 15:45:01 +0000 catgirl 2789986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning on doing a mac and cheese bar for DD's birthday party next weekend BUT we haven't really figured out with toppings/mix ins we want to do. We are only having about 20 people, so while I want a variety of options I don't want too many things out. </p> <p>If you have done a mac and cheese bar what did you put out with it? What worked well? What would you change?</p> <p>And if you haven't done one - what would you like to see at one?</p> <p>Thanks for any input! </p>
