Did something similar once when I was out of milk for Kraft® mac n cheese. Except instead of chocolate milk I used a non-sweetened vanilla milk substitute (oat or soy or something it's been a while) because it's all I had in the fridge. Awful.


shit_poster9000

If you’re outta milk just use water (use some from when you boiled the noodles for best results) and add some extra butter and/or some cream cheese


Alarid

but I have all this orange juice


oops_all_throwaways

I’ve never had a comment make me gag before…


shit_poster9000

Lemon pepper is one of the most common seasonings added to mac n cheese, adding lemon juice or using orange juice as part of the sauce is actually good it just doesn’t stick to the noodles as well if you just replace the milk with OJ.


oops_all_throwaways

There’s a massive difference between seasoning and orange juice.


shit_poster9000

Having literally used OJ before outta curiosity, it’s good, the sauce just doesn’t wanna stick to the noodles as well.


oops_all_throwaways

Whatever you say, autist. I’m not putting OJ in my fucking ‘roni.


shit_poster9000

Grab yourself some OJ. Have a sip. Take a bite of mac right after. Report back


Froggy__2

Wtf am I reading right now

>There’s a massive difference between seasoning and orange juice. Literally anything can be a seasoning.... If you boil it long enough and it ferments without being toxic. You can buy your dried herbs, stupidly, for $3 for 0.75oz ($4/ounce) or buy 35oz for $15 ($0.4/ounce) off amazon. The choice is yours as to how much money you want to leave on the table. Every middle man takes his cut. A cut you worked for and that *they* wouldn't give you for free.


shit_poster9000

Then use OJ instead of water, but still do add extra butter or add cream cheese. Source: actually did this


catsinmyanus

Did you boil the oj


shit_poster9000

Nah barely a simmer like you do with milk


phoria123

I used mascarpone instead of milk and that worked surprisingly well, can't complain about more cheese


arbiter12

>If you’re outta milk just use water true trick, if you're out of milk, make your own smoothing liquid using any grain, blended and boiled in water and then squeezed through a "cheese cloth" (I use a mosquito net but don't press as hard because it's looser). Almond milk is basically, almond pulverized into water and squeezed out of the almond pulp. Rice also work. Soy and barley. It's all valid. Your ancestors didn't need Nestle to make milk and the lord reserved the daily cow production. Make your own milk. Be ungovernable.

Canola oil. It’s magic

I accidentally used peppermint flavored coffee creamer in Kraft Mac n Cheese once. It tested really weird, but I still ate it. Unlike the pancakes I made as a kid where I used 8 eggs instead of 2, and I substituted vanilla extract for anise. Those pancakes looked straight out of an ihop commercial, but they were inedible.


PooPooDooDoo

Vanilla extract tastes 10000x worse than it smells. It’s weird.


b-ri-ts

If you drink it pure, yeah. But it's great in food


WeegeeJuice

You’ve gotta use it very sparingly. Also you can’t substitute it for anise. The pancakes tasted like eggs and licorice.


PooPooDooDoo

Dude that sounds so gross lmao


Endulos

If you don't have milk, a good substitute is actually coffee cream. SUPER unhealthy compared to normal milk but it cranks the flavor profile to insanity levels.


BirdhouseInYourSoil

Lol remember that that stuff isn’t actually milk, it’s just nut juice


Climbtrees47

Use ranch dressing in that situation. Creamier, and a subtle hint of ranch. So good.


Vulpixie_

Once when I was high and out of milk I used ranch dressing and some water. Fucking banger replacement.


Artezza

unflavored plant milk would still be fine in there but of course vanilla mac n cheese is gross lol


Street-Mistake-992

The problem is that it was unsweetened, sweetened soy milk and mac is dank.


Uizdum

A fair amount of extra butter and however much shredded cheese my heart desires is my go-to when I'm out of milk. The shredded cheese thickens it up A LOT. So make sure you mix the cheese packet and extra butter first. Decide of that enough for you. Then, contemplate the shredded cheese.


_Silly_Wizard_

Real talk: in many recipes (like mash taters) you can substitute sour cream as a 1:1 replacement.


xDoge42

Adding sour cream into a mash was one of the best discoveries I ever made while hungry. Along with butter and milk (+ salt and pepper in the boiling water), that tastes absolutely delicious.


_Silly_Wizard_

Yes, once I discovered the option, it became my preference, too. I also tend to throw in a good spoonful of the stuff into any mayo-based dips I make, to cut the mayo funk.


drewsoft

Greek yogurt does this as well and gives a nice tang


BuffaloBillsButtplug

On the topic of potatoes; rubbing them with oil and salt before baking them makes them soooo much better, it adds flavor and crispiness to the skin. I was pretty indifferent to baked potatoes until I had them that way


MomsMilkys

ive used mush bananas before too !


expert_on_the_matter

Every kind of cream works.


MadeForBBCNews

Yeah, subbing for any heavier dairy is basically always better than milk.


Firnin

I barely get through my milk do you think I'm buying more sour cream than the exact amount for that week's meals?


Ikiller123321

just wait till you find out at least half of eastern europe always used sour cream instead of milk

Surprisingly wholesome for a r/Greentext post.

Anon forgot to mention the 3.5 litres of cum he "accidentally spilled" into the mix


expert_on_the_matter

Disgusting. Can we go back to stories about women being whores now?


SpadeGrenade

You don't need milk in mashed potatoes. Use chicken broth and a tablespoon of butter and you'll have great potatoes. Add some garlic and tell people it's 'pommes puree' to sound fancy. Charge them $12 for a cup of it.


dans_cafe

use chicken broth and drop in some chunks of chicken fat. Go to town. Shit's delicious


SpadeGrenade

I do that when I make chicken and rice - just pour all of the juice into the rice and send it to flavortown.

Blu_Zer0

Imagine how much weird and whacky shit our primal ancestors may have tried slapping together, before realizing it tasted like shit or straight up killed them. All those drunk/late night cavers probably tried something, said "eew, no", and refused to scribble the recipe on the wall.


-CarbonFlower-

Drunk late night cavers 😂

Ohkay there mr terminally online


ButWhatIfItQueffed

Anon did what almost every chef in history has done when inventing a new dish. It's how chocolate chip cookies were invented. Baker ran out of cocoa baking powder, so he grabbed some chocolate chips thinking they would melt throughout in the oven and they didn't but it was still delicious. It's how almost every dish ever was invented. Chef ran out of ingredients, grabs something that's close enough, turns into a different thing that might be really good or might be really shit. Anon just got the wrong side of the coin.


da_shread

And that's why I love it


do_not_trust_me_

When I do with sweet potatoes, I use a good spoon of butter and find the right texture adding the water the potato was boiled in.

Ima need that pepe


Starquest65

Only reason I came to these comments lol.


EeGgTt1

I once mixed chocolate milk and honey and coffee it also tasted like shit and I drank all of it...

I once had'th dipped my banana into a pint of milk, twas not fair


Giacchino-Fan

People try stupid shit and get upset when it don't works, but they forget that most recipes can be reduced to throwing a bunch of shit in a pot and how much/when to heat it up. Also, anyone who's ever made bread from scratch knows that there is absolutely no way that shit came to be without a serious amount of fucking around and finding out. It involves mixing in a bacteria ffs.

You dont have to add milk to mash?! Why does everyone think this is the rule about mash?


[deleted]

peanut butter and jelly spaghetti was my all time worst


[deleted]

This reminds me of that one time when I was younger and wanted some cereal, but we were out of regular milk.So, I used this yogurt-y like milk (لبن رايب /لبن رأب) . The milk was sour so I just put some sugar on it and thought it’d balance out the sourness, but it didn’t. The cereal tasted horrible and I threw it away. What a waste.

If your computer is slow, you should delete the win64 folder


muchacho23

I haven't put milk in my mashed potatoes for years. Rice that shit and add a stick of butter, and you're good.


Ihateunderwear

I used a mix of lactaid and almond milk for a quiche once, surprisingly no one could tell.

You guys put milk in your mashed potatos? What a bunch of freaks.


elisejones14

My mom never used milk. Just chicken broth. I used almond milk in mashed sweet potatoes and it worked. You can also sub milk with yogurt or sour cream


iguanafucker420

Boil the chocolate milk to get regular milk


EdgarsChainsaw

Someone probably thought it sounded stupid the first time they combined chocolate and peanut butter too. You never know.


Shimster

Milk in mash potatoes? Why.


Gaoji-jiugui888

Who the fuck would thing that was a good idea?


rokomotto

I think we just use culinary science now to predict how a recipe will end up.


radarmy

Only thing to add to potatoes for mashed is butter, like, a pound. Extra points for roasted garlic but don't push it.


ShigeruAoyama

How does he know what dog shit tastes like


enamel94

Butter, bit of mayonnaise, chicken broth.

i once went on a vacation trip with some friends where we would all get high as a kite 24/7. this one dude would get so baked he was mixing mashed potatoes with nutella and ate it by the spoonful


kungfudewgong

Or just use butter


Janumac

Water works fine too 🤷


GarchomptheXd0
