Cooking Steps

1

Keep frozen or refrigerated until ready to eat.

2

RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into serving bowl.

3

ALTERNATIVELY: Cut one corner of the bag; pour mac and cheese into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and mac and cheese will be very hot.)

4

GARLIC BREAD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic bread on a lightly-oiled baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Separate garlic bread into slices and serve.

  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though some wished for clearer instructions on cooking times and methods.
  • Suggestions: Consider baking the mac with panko breadcrumbs or extra cheddar on top for added crunch and flavor.

The garlic bread was great! It cooked up so nice and had a really great buttery garlic flavor (not artificial tasting like some you can buy in grocery stores). The mac and cheese was so creamy and delicious!! It exceeded my expectations! I was skeptical, but would totally order it again! So so amazing!

Amazing! The mac and cheese was the perfect cheesy! And the garlic bread got nice and crispy on the outside but stayed soft and buttery on the inside. Very delicious.

Can't say enough about how delish and creamy this mac and cheese is!! It seems like a long time to boil in the bag, but that is THE best way to prepare it. It tastes freshly made and super creamy. It's sinful!

We will definitely order this again. Loved the mac and cheese. Heated it in air fryer to get crispy top. Fabulous.

Mac and cheese was okay in flavor but hard to get out of the bag. Garlic bread was kind of low flavor.

I was skeptical about the mac & cheese, but it was one of the best I have ever tried! I added some toasted panko breadcrumbs on top. Delicious!

So so good. Never will I buy store bought mac and cheese again. Easy prep and it just disappeared so fast. Need to order more than 1 container!!!

Husband liked this so- that says it all. The bread seems a little small amount wise for what it costs but it was really good

My only complaint is the pasta is a bit mushy and we prefer al dente - but flavor was great

Creamy and easy to make! It would probably be good baked with some panko crumbs as well.
