These are very easy to prepare with a microwave. I like how the portions are small. Every other package of mac and cheese is for a family. These are individual servings. No butter or milk is required.

The trick to preventing boil over is to put it in a big bowl - I add a little milk and butter for my daughter's because she' skinny and picky. I've also started tossing in a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin puree and she eats it like it's chocolate cake. Real easy and this is a reasonable price -

I am a huge fan of the original annie's pasta meals, so when this came out I thought it was a good idea. However, it was poorly executed. When you use the recomended amount of water, its to water, even after 10 mintues of sitting. Too little, your noodles will clump together and get undercooked. Obviously they didn't test this product enough. Stick to original annie's!

Have enjoyed Annie's White Mac & Cheese very much, but this microwavable variety is more trouble than its worth. You must use a very deep & wide bowl to use in the microwave or the water will boil over and you'll be left with very hot, uncooked macaroni in the bowl and a starchy mess in the microwave. It is much easier to make the conventional variety in a pot!

This is an easy lunch for a vegetarian, but the cheese flavor is better with the white cheddar variety. Also, it says to use 1/2 cup of water, and it really needs about 1 cup if you even want half a chance of stirring the powdered cheese into the noodles, it is way too dry without more water. I've started eating Annie's instead of Velveeta, which I used to eat regularly, because of the organic noodles.

I give this product two stars because there are no artificial ingredients and it is 75% organic. That is all it has going for it.
I'm trying to go "all natural" and "organic" with all my purchases. I saw this for about $5 for the five pack and since the price was comparable to the Velveeta version (which is far from "all natural") I bought it.
Stirring the cheese sauce into the leftover water from cooking the macaroni took a few minutes. I did not time it, but it was more than two minutes. My son would not eat it. I made myself a package. It tastes kind of like macaroni with Cheetos powder on it (although I think Cheetos powder would taste better). I wound up melting a piece of organic American Cheese on it and stirring that in to make it palatable.
I think I'm going to try to figure out how to microwave a small amount of regular macaroni then melt cheese on it in the microwave to make my own macaroni and cheese.
This product was a big fail in my household.
This is the first Annie's product that I have tried that I did not like. Before trying this stuff, I was 100% satisfied with Annie's products.

I bought the Annies Homegrown Microwaveable Mac-n-cheese. Actually my wife bought it because it is so-called "healthy". It was hands down the worst macncheese I have ever tasted, and after trying it, I would be loathe to try any more Annies products. It had a nasty plastic-like aftertaste, I had to rinse my mouth out.
I am throwing away the remaining 4 packets because I would not feed the crap to my cat! This is a definite DON'T BUY IT!

good, healthy, and well-priced when you buy in bulk. found that I prefer the white cheddar version better, though.

I actually prefer the taste of the Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese, which is not instant, but has more flavor. The kids are eating this, though, which is a good sign. It is effortless with convenient packaging.

This is an instant meal in a box to take to work with you or have for dinner with a little added leftover chicken or tuna to make it a little more solid! (What the heck, you can toss in some veggies as well.)

As strange as it may seem, I started occasionally using this for breakfast when I discovered I had run out of instant oatmeal. I was in quite a hurry, but I was starving, and the rest, as they say, is history! It's a very good breakfast on the run, and its great for kids, as well. I doubt the company would market it as such, but if it's good in the evening, it should be just as good in the morning!

Yum!
