Who sucks down the cheese packet and crunches on the uncooked macaroni? Isn’t that interesting? If you look closely, the 260 calories is per 2.5 ounces and it is when it is “unprepared”. Give me a real slice of cheese over this any day of the week. First - this:ĭehydrated cheese in a packet! Does this seem like real food to you? I think this belongs on the space station. My teenage son and daughter (if I buy it) will make this every day for lunch. The only cooking skill Kraft Mac and Cheese requires to make it is boiling water. My son likes Annies as he says it tastes better than Kraft. I did a review of macaroni and cheese boxes to see if I could find a healthier version. There was a whole grain version as well, but I couldn’t find it at my store. Since I created this recipe, Kraft has dropped artificial dyes (which is nice) but this stuff retains that bright orange color. Why? I think it is because we are all looking for comfort and the bright orange and blue box for $1 is an easy source. I wrote a post about this years ago and I decided to update it because it seems to be popular.
