Re: Best Bought Mac and Cheese?

My nieces treasure two of my late Mom's recipes, her sweet potato casserole and Mac and cheese. The sweet potato casserole is a southern confection with sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, and pecans. Her Mac and cheese is Stouffer's frozen, switched into her own casserole dish, and cooked a few extra minutes so the edges are crispy.

@beach-mom,

That's so weird! My kids favorite growing up and into young adulthood was the regular boxed kraft mac and cheese.

Kraft Original Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Family Size (14.5 oz Box)

 

I always wondered how in the world they liked it so much. Such a plain slightly tasteless, glue like cardboard cheese lol!

Maybe it has to do with the same thing being a comfort, something they are familiar with no matter how awful.


I rarely eat mac & cheese, although I love it. I've aways bought  the blue box. Kraft. It's usually a quick fix when I don't feel like making anything. I add canned peas to it if I have them. That may seem weird. I also use pasta water since I don't buy milk. It's delicious.

DH likes Stouffer's, too. I microwave it, stir in some Tabasco, then transfer to an oven-safe dish to bake until it gets that nice, crisp top he prefers.

Bob Evans mac and cheese.

We didn't like Bob Evans.  Very bland and macaroni very overcooked.

It's not frozen but it's simple.  Cracker Barrel in a box.  Just boil the pasta and then squeeze the cheese packet over it.  


These Cracker Barrel mac-n-cheese come in varieties too.  I bought one last week but I have not prepared it YET
