Then add boiled macaroni and mix and fry. Stirnin a raw egg (optional, you can also use bread crumbs) and some grated cheese.

I've been craving some macaroni from when I lived in Holland in high school but I'm finding the spice packet to be impossible to find:(wafflegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659362563679534861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-70385548678994234542015-01-05T04:25:33.497-07:002015-01-05T04:25:33.497-07:00"or even expected to be"...i guess that ..."or even expected to be"...i guess that says it all! :-D<br />I just cannot get used to the fact how ready-made mixes are so 'in' the Dutch culture. I call it still culture because my mother-in-law (nearly 70 years old) doesnt not any other way to make macaroni either. I will always amaze me how the food industry managed to change habits and tastes so profoundly. Actually i find it sad. A lot of people dont know how the ingredients are for pancakes, even though the ready-made mix for pancakes ask to add for milk and eggs. What's in the mix, then, just the flour ?! That's rather expensive flour then, greatly marketed...Egeltjenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-54424280085361512372015-01-03T12:59:09.799-07:002015-01-03T12:59:09.799-07:00Egeltje, I am sorry to disappoint you :-( Dutch ma...Egeltje, I am sorry to disappoint you :-( Dutch macaroni is just that: ground beef and a ready-made-spice mix. It's comfort food, easy to make, favorite with kids and adults alike, and has one of those flavors that it's just not easy to make from scratch, or even expected to be. As macaroni is not originally Dutch food, it would be hard to find a "traditional" recipe. I've often debated whether I should remove this recipe, or at least provide a "homemade" version. But if I did provide that, it wouldn't be Dutch macaroni anymore, the stuff we grew up with and that every so often we crave like crazy. I'll give it another think, thanks for the question!Nicole Holtenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000959283858308949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-12807300244063808692015-01-03T11:30:41.300-07:002015-01-03T11:30:41.300-07:00Why on earth are these ready-made spices-mix an in...Why on earth are these ready-made spices-mix an ingredient of your recipe?! ....my dutch husband indeed doesnt know anyother way to make macaroni than this spice-mix....i was hoping to find something else on your blog, though.Egeltjenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144846758981844946.post-79917967651213820062014-05-09T00:00:42.547-06:002014-05-09T00:00:42.547-06:00Oh yuck, that bring back bad memories lol.

I've never really been into the "maaltijds" finding them strangely spiced (preferring Mexican seasonings myself)but your macaroni recipe tempted me so I made it today. You mention that any basic spaghetti sauce recipe will work, but I think you'd end up with a very different dish. The "Silvo" brand "kruidenmix voor macaroni maaltijd" has (among others) the following spices in its ingredients: paprika, coriander seed, mustard seed, cumin seed, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Not your average spaghetti sauce! But it was good, and will still be good for lunch tomorrow. <br><br>Thanks for your blog!tjanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06131191327216687024noreply@blogger.com
