Product Description

Macaroni and cheese was a favorite American dish long before Kraft showed up to take it over. The real thing is made with a good, sharp Cheddar cheese. The cheese is mixed with the macaroni and browned lightly on top. Some people like to cover the entire mixture with bread crumbs, others use potato chips. Real macaroni and cheese isn't that time consuming. Anyone can make it. But nobody does anymore. The thing that makes a macaroni and cheese dinner special is, of course, the sauce mix a strange goldenrod powder that transforms through the magic of milk and margarine into a cheese like soup. KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Spirals helps you cook up a tummy-full of good times.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good... but no longer "the best", May 15, 2008

This review is from: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, 7.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 24) (Grocery)

Sometimes we buy products simply because we always have done so... in other words, "brand loyalty". Kraft has a very good and reliable name, and their macaroni and cheese dinner is a good product, and we still expect the best quality from them.... but Kraft has maintained the same standard in this product over the years while their smaller competitors have been changing for the better!

Because "Kraft dinner" got a little pricey over the past few years, (around a dollar a box nowadays, depending on where you buy it), I finally relented and tried an "off brand". I picked up a few boxes of "Our Specialty" brand at the local Dollar General store (total size = 7.25 ounce box. serving size, 2.5 oz. "Prepared" stats: 400 calories, 150 calories from fat, RDA sodium = 30%; 1% cholesterol; 17% total carbs) -- it was 33 cents per box and it simply tastes MUCH better than Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner. Also, the macaroni in the Our Specialty brand holds up better -- it's very tender but it doesn't go flat when you boil it like the Kraft does.

A good friend of mine recently re-confirmed my own findings when he said that he bought the brand which is sold at Meier's Stores (a big food chain) around Cincinnati, Ohio, and he experienced the very same results with their store brand.

So, maybe it's time that we took a look at more "off brands," clones, and generics. There are some really good smaller companies out there selling some very high-quality food products so don't be afraid to try them, especially when there is such a huge price difference!

I hope that you find this review/recommendation helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF OUR FAMILY FAVORITES, August 21, 2011

This has been a favorite at our house for years now. It is quickly prepared, tastes pretty good for a ready mixed box product and if you have some left over you can put it in the fridge and it is even better the next day.

Now this is not to say that I prefer this stuff to the home-made variety and the different varieties of that variety my wife makes...no, there is no comparison truth be told, but over the years, raising a family, raising grand children and odd and long working hours have not always allowed my wife and I to cook scratch meals all of the time. This product fills in the gaps quite nicely. It makes a great side dish for many, many meals.

We always have several boxes of it on hand for those busy days and our four grandsons are perfectly capable of cooking this stuff their selves. Sometimes they will be in our house either all night or most of the night when they are home from school and the four will cook three or four boxes of this mac and cheese at once for a "snack." They are great about cleaning up their own messes so this is fine with us.

The price here, if you get free shipping, is quite competitive and can only be bested (where we live) when it is on sale or when we make our monthly trip to the local military installation and shop at the commissary (We are retired military). Even then, the price is not all that much different.

We have tried other brands form time to time and while they are pretty good for the most part, they simply do not taste like this particular product does.

This is a good product, it has an excellent self-life so we are able to stock up on it and as a matter of fact we have a goodly bunch of it in our "emergency food supply" we keep incase of power outages or being snowed in. (You can cook it quite well on the top of the wood heated stove we found).

I like this product and must admit that I have to have a fix of it myself from time to time...snacks and all that you know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good deal with S&S, but you can find it for less, March 3, 2011

This is a staple in our house. With the Subscribe and Save discount you pay about $.74/box, which is a lot less than I can find it at the grocery store; however, at our local warehouse club you can pick it up for $.62/box. Do your homework :) Don't be afraid to try out the generic brands offered locally, too. Nice thing about Amazon, though, it comes right to your door!
