Probably ramen, it doesnt have to be cooked and doesnt take as long as mac an cheese to cook. As for mac and cheese, I prefer the spirals, they seem to cook more evenly than the elbows.

+1 on the Velveeta

comparing ramen to store bought mac and cheese, I would take chilly ramen noodles, but when it come to home-cooked velveeta mac and cheese with chilly powder, then that would win me over hands down.

You dont have to cook ramen either..
so you cant take 15 minutes and cook something better for your body then ramen? :facepalm:

Granted Mac and Cheese ain't that good for you but the lack of super sodium makes a big deal. No wonder high blood pressure is rampant today.

Personally I would rather cook some spaghetti and make some sauce (from scratch) with italian sausage in it. Takes about 20 minutes. Tastes multitudes better then M&C or ramen. :mrgreen:

I like cooking tho so 8)

Ramen is ok, on occasion, but the sodium is just horrible. Same with Cup 'o Noodles.

Velveeta Shells & Cheese FTW! El Pollo Loco has some pretty good mac & cheese.

Recently, one of my friends introduced me to adding corn to mac & cheese, it actually turned out pretty good.

It depends. I would prefer real mac and cheese over ramen, but not that crap microwaveable mac and cheese. Since I only have a microwave, RAMEN.

Mac and cheese when it's loaded up with extra cheese.

Mac and Cheese with ease.

The way to make it extra awesome is to take Kraft Mac & Cheese and add a couple slices of Kraft Singles to it when you're adding the powdery cheese in. Makes it nice and cheesy. Just the way it should be. :)

No I can't. The freshmen in the dorms (i.e. me) arent allowed to have/use a stove, toaster, toaster oven, hot plate, goerge foreman grill, etc in the dorms. Its stupid, I know. Besides, it's kinda hard to smuggle in a stove without anyone noticing :wink:

I get around a similar scenario by using my "multicooker/steamer" thingamajig. Our rules are that you can't have anything with an "open heating element" so this works perfectly for cooking noodles.
