My name is Jackie and I have loved Mac n Cheese since I was a toddler. I grew up eating Kraft Mac n Cheese. As soon as I could order for myself in restaurants I always picked Mac n Cheese if it was an option. I soon earned the nickname Mackie Jackie. This blog will be devoted to my Mac n Cheese adventures. I will share some of my past favorites and then continue to post each new cheesy adventure. Happy reading and eating!

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner Cheese Explosion

Name of Product: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner Cheese Explosion
Website: http://brands.kraftfoods.com/thecheesiest/parental-zone.aspx
Price: 99 cents

I was looking forward to this new form of microwavable mac from Kraft. I love their Easy Mac, so I figured this would just be a cheesier version of their Easy Mac. It wasn't. I followed the instructions except I took my mac out 10 seconds early so I wouldn't overcook the pasta. Barely any of the water had evaporated. When I poured the cheese powder into the pasta and stirred, I was left with orange soup. The sauce was way too watery and it tasted like water. I could barely taste the cheese. The pasta was hot when it came out, but I let it cool a bit in an attempt to let the sauce thicken. It didn't. The only thing I liked about the meal was the choice of pasta. The spirals were tender but had a little more bite to them compared to the long narrow Easy Mac noodles. The mac left me with a bad artificial taste in my mouth.

I give this mac 1.5 wedges. I would not buy it again.
