Just not in the prison cafeteria, that food qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

their "solitary" should be together, and in a special section of the kitchen so that they are constantly having to do the cook off until they realise they suck
I am confused and afraid, the one on the left appears to have the scooping characteristics of ice cream
They cooked the noodles before they baked. Those noodles might have been al dente when they went into the oven. 45 minutes later, and they have the consistency of play dough.

likely cause by mac overcooked to hell and back and cheese is nothing but cheese that has all of it's moisture absorbed by the mac
It’s more of a cheese infused macaroni loaf now
Protip: The reason Velveeta and American cheeses melt so well is because sodium citrate is added to them. You can buy this yourself as a powder, and then add it to actually-good cheeses to give them the same properties.
You can also just melt nearly any cheese into a roux to make a mornay sauce if you are careful about it, which is the secret to both mac and cheese and queso sauce. Sodium citrate helps to keep it from breaking but is not strictly necessary in most cases.
Edit - yes, cheese and milk
This sounds fancy, so to make it a bit less daunting:
- roux - flour and fat (typically butter), usually in equal amounts by weight
- béchamel sauce - roux + milk, often with nutmeg for flavoring
- mornay sauce - béchamel sauce with grated cheese
When making the béchamel sauce, add the milk a very small amout at a time to prevent clumping, and mix well over medium heat between additions.

Prison.
What's the charge?
Eating a meal? A succulent American meal?
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
Peas are a hate crime.
Don't knock it till you try it!
Everyone is giving you shit. I hate Mac and cheese, but yours with bacon and peas I might actually try.

No one can convince me they actually like peas. They’re all paid off by big pea

And that's how you get out of having to cook something for Thanksgiving
That looks horrible. And why the fuck is any sane person preparing a cassetole in a throwaway baking dish?
1 - you don't have to worry about leaving a dish
2 - you don't have to clean it after a get together that is probably exhausting
3 - aluminum is one of the materials that is actually very recyclable, so it's not a big deal like plastic is.
75% of all aluminum ever mined is still in circulation- its also more efficient- recycling aluminum takes 5% of the energy it takes to produce it.

Ya but how many people are cleaning and recycling them? They're going straight in the garbage.
Because you're going to a potluck and don't want to worry about getting your dish back?
Learn the basics of sauces from a French cooking book/course.
Make a blonde roux, for 4 pounds of cheese, add 1.5 cups of milk and 2 cups of half and half. Add in the shredded cheese saving about a pound to a pound and a half for layering. Add 4 tsp of sodium citrate. Voila you have a cheese sauce that won't break on you that pours into the pasta easily.
As a non-American, how much pasta goes with all that cheese? And how many serves do you get out of it?

Right: American cheese on top. That's gotta be raw pasta underneath.
Left: "came away clean from the tray" in what I can only imagine is a congealed cheese+starch block.
These are terrible choices.

Mac And Plastic
Sodium citrate. It's not plastic, it just makes cheese look like plastic.
WHY ARE THERE GREEN BEANS IN THE MAC AND CHEESE? T_T
also just make tini's mac and cheese; anything else is scandalous
