7 Mouthwatering Pickle Hacks You Must Try (4 of 4)

Upgraded Pickle Mac and Cheese

Pickles, potato chips, and mac and cheese all taste great on a plate together, so why not find a way to combine them? Prepare your mac and cheese for a little less than the recommended time, then stir in diced pickles and a little cream cheese to amp up the creaminess, topped with shredded cheese. Transfer to a baking dish and top with crushed-up potato chips. Lastly, layer on a bit more cheese and bake in the oven until it’s all golden and bubbly. The richness of the dish is brightened by the pickle, with the crunch of the chips adding in a fun surprise—making this the perfect dish to liven up your next barbeque. 

Pickle Margarita

This list wouldn’t be complete without a hack to turn a pickle into a margarita, right? A pickle margarita may sound questionable until you try it and want three more. Shake together blanco tequila, lime juice, orange liquor, and a splash of pickle juice. The brine will actually mimic the effect of a salted rim, adding a pop of savory goodness to every sip. The pickle enhances the flavor and will be your new favorite drink if you love a bold cocktail.
