Annie's Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese with Organic Pasta, Classic Real Cheddar Cheese and Shells, 11.3 oz

Very cheese 🧀 best Mac and cheese in a box

This mac and cheese is amazing! Super fast, easy to make, and natural ingredients. Taste amazing as well! Highly recommend.

I grew up a Kraft boy, and you wouldn't find me with off-brand boxes of macaroni and cheese. No, sir. Just the authentic and best for me.When I got older, I realized (thanks to Mark Bittman's superb cookbook, How to Cook Everything -- if you happen to be in the vicinity of a bookstore, pick it up) that boxed stuff is horrid, compared to making actual pasta with actual cheese.But, well, sometimes I just want something out of a box. (And our seven-year-old ALWAYS does, for he has the insane and tasteless taste buds of a child.) In those cases, I always went back to Kraft, until we started shopping at Whole Foods and bought a pack of Annie's to try out -- very skeptically in my case, as I'd had a lot of off-brand stuff that failed to live up to the Kraft ideal. Even so-called "premium" and "deluxe" stuff like the Velveeta Shells and Cheese was just totally weird and off-putting.But, heresy of heresies, it turns out that the Annie's stuff is actually BETTER than Kraft. Both the regular box with the powder, and this stuff with the cheese-gel, taste better than Kraft, through some feat of food science alchemy. Try 'em out. Personally, I give the nod to the Deluxe over the regular, just because it's twice as easy to make (no mixing milk, butter, and powder -- just rip the pouch and mix with the noodles), and "easy to make" is pretty much the whole point of boxed food; but it is a lot more expensive, so if you're price-conscious and willing to put forth a bit of effort, get the regular Annie's.(Or, better yet, get that Bittman book, and learn to make pasta with sage and parmesan for the same price and just about as much work...)

Quick and easy meal or side dish. We sometimes add cooked hamburger or chicken sausage, or broccoli and other veggies for more nutrition and flavor. Otherwise nice creamy texture

Look out blue box. This Annie's Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese with Organic Pasta is the real deal. It is easy to make, taste great, is creamy, and our kids love it. Was thankful to find an entire flat of them on Amazon as we use at least one box per week. Can easily add proteins such as chicken, brisket or pulled pork to make it a meal.

It's cheesy and it's good.

I’ve been enjoying this product for a little over five years. This is the absolute best boxed Mac and cheese on the market. The aged cheddar has a slight tartness I just LOVE.

I have always ordered the rich and creamy product with the boxes arriving squashed and there were 3 that were opening from the top along with one that was open and smashed. I have never had this big of an issue with the product very disappointed.
