I feel my Canadian friends use the right amount while my American friends are too conservative.

    I’ve mixed quite a few things into mac & cheese. Ketchup has never been one of them.

    Speaking of condiments, mixing about 1 tbsp of mustard (dijon works best, but regular yellow is fine too) into the cheese sauce helps bring out the cheese flavor, but doesn’t make it taste like mustard.

        It does! I’ve used it a couple times as well, you just need to be really careful not to add too much. I couldn’t tell you how much to use since I just eyeballed the amount I put in.

      It also helps if you want to add some shredded cheese. There’s an emulsifier in mustard that helps the cheese melt smoothly into the sauce.
