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.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Creamy and tangy white cheddar sauce delights many, though some found it mild. Garlic bread is a hit! 🍲
  • Ease of prep: Quick to prepare, but some wished for stovetop or oven heating options beyond boiling and microwaving.
  • Suggestions: Add broccoli to balance creaminess; try red pepper flakes for kick. Consider Baja-style with diced avocado and cherry tomatoes.
  • Portions: Sauce-to-pasta ratio was high for some; adding extra vegetables can help balance the dish.

The garlic bread was a little on the sloppy side - lumps of garlic butter randomly stuck on the outside of the loaf, with some slices completely dry. The Mac and cheese was super tasty, but only 2 servings of noodles and 4 servings of cheese sauce. Not a great value

A lot of cheese sauce in this so I added broccoli to balance it and it was amazing. Added red pepper flakes for kick.

I get this as often as I can. Great when you make it Baja (add diced avocado and halfed cherry tomatoes).

These were not the best tasting but were a great addition through the week. The Mac & cheese served as a quick meal for my 8 year old on 3-4 different occasions and the garlic bread was eaten with our bolognese that week.

Garlic bread was great. Mac & cheese was just ok. Took a lot of time to do the boil bag for something that ought to be easy/fast.

There were only 2 ways to heat up - boil in the bag or microwave. Should have been an option to put in oven or on the stove.

Great garlic bread. Mac & cheese not fond of. White cheddar cheese sauce too crudely. Pasta not smooth. Maybe try cheddar??
