Don’t buy this

Thought I was ordering Velveeta cheese but clicked on shells and cheese so got it by mistake. The cheese was fine but the shells were mushy, stuck together and terrible tasting. I won’t make that mistake again!

Liquid cheesiness

I'm definitely a cheese sauce kind of gal which is one of the reasons I prefer this brand of mac and cheese over the ones with the powdered cheese. The only downside to this one is I don't find the cheese as flavorful as the powdered ones. Normally I add season all or something else to the mixture to bring out the flavor more. It really seems to make a difference. This mac and cheese is also really good to mix with other things like sausage or ground hamburg from whenever we make tacos.

"Creamy, delicious, and easy-to-prepare macaroni and cheese."

"Velveeta Shells and Cheese has a very creamy and delicious flavor. The texture is smooth, and the cheese sauce blends perfectly with the pasta. It's very easy and quick to prepare, ideal for a quick meal or side dish. I liked that the cheese has a rich and pleasant flavor. I would definitely buy it again to enjoy with my family."

Yummyyyy

Just delicious! I grew up on velveeta Mac and cheese and it’s so rich and cheesy! Their packaging has never changed I think lol and it’s definitely recognizable! It’s a little pricey but for the value of it it’s a steal! There’s no weird aftertaste like other brands of Mac and cheese! And it’s literally only takes like 12 minutes to cook!!!

Creamy, cheesy and delicious!

Delicious! Creamy, cheesy, salty, and the perfect consistency. I often find that boxed mac & cheese has too thin of a sauce, but Velveeta cheese and sauce is the perfect consistency, coating every noodle. I deducted one star for all the chemicals in the ingredients, but their recipe sure does make for some delicious mac & cheese.

Best shells and cheese

Velveeta shells and cheese is the best!!! It's classic and the recipe is something I crave. The shells cook up perfectly and the cheese sauce is so ooey and gooey. No extra ingredients are needed to make this so I love the simplicity of it. It's always affordable and is so good.

Mushy and gross

I bought this for a quick meal and I did not like it. I don’t know if I got a bad batch or something but I ended up throwing the rest away. When I was cooking pasta the shells looked almost grey in some spots. Other spots still looked raw but when I tried one it was mushy. The noodles themselves were slimy and very gummy and I definitely didn’t overcook them. I added the cheese sauce and it was very thin and didn’t stick to the noodles that great. The cheese sauce didn’t have good flavor. It wasn’t very cheesy and didn’t really taste like anything at all. I would not buy this again.

Taste like homemade mac & cheese

Do Velveeta shells are so easy to prepare. They are so delicious and they look amazing. Not only do they look amazing but they taste amazing as well. This portion size is perfect for a family of three. The noodles come out just the perfect al dente . They are not too soft and not too hard. They are perfect. You don’t have to add any type of ingredients. All you do is cook the macaroni, add the cheese and stir. What I love about this Velveeta shells and cheese is that my kids always think that we went out to buy it somewhere because they taste way better than the restaurants. They taste like real Velveeta cheese and they are made with real Velveeta cheese. Love the taste you won’t be disappointed. This is also a quick night dinner. You can make this in about 10 minutes and the kids will love it.

Mushy noodles

Noodles when from soft but crunchy, then immediately went mushy. After adding the cheese sauce and mixing the noddles almost disintegrated. Plus the noddles were a lot smaller than what I remember (I typically buy a different brand and I have bought velveeta in a long time) I wonder if the manufacturing facility put the microwaveable shells into the boxed product.
