Emphasis on extra block since the recipe probably already called for 1 or more to begin with.

I remember back when I was a kid, a friend in my group always made the BEST mac n cheese (the kraft boxed stuff). Nobody else's could compare. Someone finally asked him what his secret was, and it turns out he was simply adding an entire stick of butter instead of what the box called for
A shitton of butter is pretty much every restaurant's trick as well....actually I think the real trick is not mentioning just how much butter you added.
Yup. And boil the pasta in salt water. Boxed mac CAN taste delicious!
Who doesn't boil pasta in salt water?
The trick I've learned from one of my aunts is to add a little bit (half a teaspoon for one of those paper boxes of mac, not much more) of mustard to it, somehow makes the cheese taste sharper as long as you don't overdo it and make the mustard flavor too obvious. I've also found adding a fairly significant amount of black pepper does good things to it, along with a little extra cheese melted in.
I also put a bunch of spinach and a bit of salsa in mine, but that admittedly dramatically changes the flavor instead of just enhancing it, I just happen to like the result after some experimenting
Mustard is an emulsefier, so a tiny bit will increase the creamieness, especially if you're adding a little cheese.
Add some sour creme and cream cheese, cut the butter, it'll be delicious.
What do you mean you don't want mini-marshmallows in your salad? What's wrong with you?
Don't forget the jell-o
Reminds me of this guy: "What's up, welcome back to 'how until they put an entire block of cream cheese in the crock pot recipe'"

Looked funny until Instagram asked me to login to keep watching. No thanks.
It's not healthy, but you can't deny that its not the best food around.
I will take Mexican, Korean, Japanese, Mediterranean, Creole, Italian and even British cuisine any day of the week over the bland salted dairy bombs of the Midwest.
Chinese and Vietnamese food as well. Southern BBQ too. Tbh just about anything that isn't Vegemite.
Careful now. Our Scandinavian friends can introduce you to plenty of fresh (or decidedly not fresh) culinary horrors that are not Vegemite.
The trick is to have a whole stick of butter with your vegemite.
I feel like tons of food in Louisiana would be incredibly unhealthy.
your feelings are correct
In this case, they're using that for the city Los Angeles, not the state Louisiana.
If your comment was a joke, ignore me
I wouldn't be able to leave the toilet with that kind of food.
Extra salt, sugar, fat
Couldn’t those be the same claim
When I cook it seems like I'm using too much butter, but at the same time I'm a healthy weight and my food tastes good, so I think on the balance I'm probably okay.
And the fitness levels match
And if you ask for iced tea, you have to specify unsweetened
Moreso in the south, in my experience.
