I've never seen pasta get this mushy. Absolutely bizarre. I'm well into my 60's, so I've had a lot of pasta experience, and this is absolutely the worst pasta I have ever seen. I tried two of these before just realizing that if I use another brand of pasta, it's fine. But I have no idea why the pasta turns out like this, the second time I just did the pasta for 7 minutes and I got the same mushy pasta. I can leave a bag of regular pasta in the water for 15 minutes and not get the mushy, gooey, sticky mess that is this pasta. It's when you empty the water out that you find out what a gooey sticky mess that is this pasta.

My daughter just cannot get enough of this. She doctors it up with extra cheese and other creative stuff. I had it as a side one night and it was not bad. I loved that it was on sale and I grabbed a box from Sam's immediately. Thanks for your monthly sales on items.

The mac and cheese is inedible as the noodles are mush and have a different taste than the normal ones from the store. I tried 3 and then used the rest by replacing the noodles with store bought. even at 4 minutes the noodles were mush so not over cooked and drained through strainer.

I’m in my 60s & can finally confess: I still have room in my heart for good ol’ Mac ’n’ Cheese - the Original Kraft version that comes in a box with the foiled ‘cheesy’ packet. The little elbow macaroni cooks up super-quick & satisfies my age-old craving for the stuff in a hurry. There’s nothing fancy or difficult about it & the taste is ALWAYS consistently the same. The only issue I have with on-line ordering for delivery is that the expiration date for the 18-boxes I ordered expire in less than 6 months; when I purchase it in the store, I can pick a package that’s got at least a year before it expires - live & learn.

The lot that I received dated Aug 24 2023 was mush compared to the July 2023 batch i received last time. the noodles did not retain the noodle shape even boiled at 1/2 the cook time. I finally threw the noodles away and put the cheese on great value noodles which were then good.

Craft mac & cheese is one of those easy go to meals that never disappoints. It's super simple to make and comes together quickly, which is perfect for busy days when you need something fast and comforting. The texture turns out creamy and smooth, and the flavor is that classic cheesy taste, familiar and satisfying. It's great on its own or as a side, and you can easily customize it by adding things like veggies or protein. While it's definitely more of a convenience food than a “homemade” meal, it's reliable, affordable, and always hits the spot when you're craving something warm and simple. My three kids love it!

One of my children has a sensory issue dealing with food texture because of Autism. This is one of the few select things my child will actually eat. It's a texture thing. I have tried other types even the Velveeta but hands down this is the only brand my child will eat of Mac & Cheese. I even tried making it homemade and that was a no go. Kids know what they like.

I love giving these macaroni to my son. It is a super fast and practical option to make for quick dinner or any quick lunch. Compared to other brands this one is excellent. Opening the box is easy, just like the cheese envelope. You can store it in the fridge if you don't use it completely. Its preparation after the water is hot is approximately 10 minutes of cooking and preparation. My 2-year-old boy eats alone with his fork.

My daughters favorite, we can go through a case a month

My kid favorite. They love it
