Had this at the Hopcat in Grand Rapids:
Killer Mac & Cheese $8.95
Resistance is futile! Have it as is or create your own for $3. Add one meat & one veggie or two veggies. Meats, marinated chicken, sloppy Joseph, smoked bacon, or chorizo. Veggies, Roasted peppers, herb tomatoes, fresh spinach, basil or jalapenos. Signature dish alert!
If they hadn't stopped serving me that day, I'd probably still be eating it!

So, wait... Is there something wrong with wrapping other foods in bacon?

Soupy mac n cheese is a side. Baked mac and cheese is an entree. And one of my favorites.

What you do is you mix a whole bag of frozen broccoli with mac n cheese. It's great! Kids love it and it's not a junk food anymore. Mac n Cheese with broccoli is an entree.

I was forced to eat the boxed stuff as an entree as a kid, both plain and with stuff added to it. I've made it as a side dish but I've eaten it as a restaurant as the entree. Gordon Biersch serves a lobster mac and cheese I really like.

The only real difference at that point is cheese selection, as you could easily use an alfredo on any noodle shape, including elbow macaroni. Is it really that different because it uses a cheddar-blend base?
Personally, I'm a fan of a good macaroni with a meat sauce on top. You can either make it as cheap and easy or as fancy as you like simply by swapping out your ingredients.
Like... whole wheat pasta, with cheddar and smoked gouda, and shredded barbecue beef on top  |

This should be a poll along with considering the state each person is from.
I like polls!
Mac n Cheese has always been an entree for me.
