cheese Sides According to the same September 2013 Technomic survey, 36% of consumers said they selected a restaurant entree based upon the accompanying sides, and 46% said they were less likely to order an entree if it came with a side they disliked. In addition, about 45% of consumers said they prefer familiar sides to unfamiliar sides. With that in mind, here a few ideas for interesting twists on familiar cheesy side dishes: Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese: Baking together elbow macaroni, shredded Cheddar cheese, yellow American cheese, and pumpkin puree results in a more sophisticated version of this childhood classic. Cheesy Broccoli and Potato Bake: Cream Cheese, Swiss cheese, hash brown potatoes, and chopped broccoli successfully come together to combine two traditional side dishes-vegetables and potatoes-into one.
