I get Tesco mac and cheese in a can, and add a bunch of stuff to it. It's trashy but very tasty. Pretty cheap too if you get a good price on the bacon. £1.50 for 300g at Tesco. Must be a loss leader. The mac and cheese is only 40p too.

1 can of macaroni and cheese (pic related)
Half an onion, chopped
150g bacon (that's 4-5 thin rashers, or 3 thick rashers), cut into thumbnail size pieces (I use kitchen scissors but I guess you can use a knife)
1 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs herbs (rosemary, basil, oregano)
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp black pepper

Fry the bacon in a saucepan, then add the onion, garlic, rosemary and cayenne (this smells amazing btw). Take that off the heat and let it cool for a bit, then add the can of mac and cheese and the black pepper and stir well, heating as instructed.
