Annie's Shells and Real Aged Cheddar, Made with Real Cheese, 6 oz, 12 pk | Made with Organic Pasta, Real Aged Cheddar Cheese, No Artificial Flavors, Ready in About 10 Minutes

Absolutely love Annie's macaroni and cheese. Its amazing how fast this stuff has taken over the market... it tastes 10x better than her competitors! This version has a very cheesy cheddary taste and goes perfect with some kielbasa, green peas, carrots, green beans, and corn. Easy recipe for the whole family, here ya go! -- 1. Bring water to boil on HIGH, throw in the noodles, and turn the heat down to MEDIUM-HIGH (less chance it will over-boil) 2. While the noodles are boiling, cut up some kielbasa into small round shapes and fry it in a pan with just a little bit of oil (add some salt, pepper, turmeric, and thyme) for 5-7 minutes. 3. Add some frozen carrots and green beans, cook for another 3-5 minutes. 4. Add some frozen green peas and corn and cook for another 3-5 minutes. 5. By now you should have finished cooking the noodles, so remove them from the heat and strain them into the sink - don't do anything else to the noodles (you want the noodles to sit there in the sink and dry for a bit to get some stickiness to them... the stickier they are, the better the sauce will stick to the noodles -- don't add oil!!) 6. In the same pot you boiled the noodles, add the cheese powder and the butter... stir it up for a little bit first, so that it clumps together, then add the milk and stir until creamy (doing the cheese and butter first ensures that it will blend easier without clumps). 7. Then pour your noodles into the pot and stir to get them coated in the cheese. 8. Lastly pour your noodles into the pan to mix with the meat and veggies. 9. Serve with some homemade garlic toast (just spread some butter on a piece of bread, put a little garlic powder on top, and toast in the oven on BROIL for a couple minutes). 10. EAT!! Maaaaan, its good aint it?!

The only thing different is the quality and taste! For the most part Annie's Shells and Real Aged Cheddar cooks up like any other Mac N' Cheese out there. The difference is in the quality of the ingredients and the final flavor. We purchase Annie's products because of what they don't have in them. We feel that the ingredients are nutritionally better for what we are looking for in our meals. The cook time, size, color, added ingredients are all what is to be expected. There are no suprises so the greta taste is already in the box, not something that you add in at home. We placed a one-dozen box order and each cheddar pasta kit has cooked up fresh and delicious.

Great stuff....much better than Kraft Mac and Cheese which has been a staple here for years...cleaning my pantry of items of questionable origin and/or manufacturing principles...starting to read the ingredients labels...some of the stuff they put in you can't even pronounce...

Great price for 4 boxes of Mac n cheese. However I was expecting liquid cheese. It has powder cheese and dosnt dissolve easily, it wants to clump up and isnt very cheesy

First time trying and I enjoyed the taste of this Mac n Cheese! Yummmm😋

easy, inexpensive meal item

Bought it for nostalgia as i havent made mac n cheese in 20 years. Last time I wanted to relive my youth, i had this awful flavorless yellow mush from a restaurant. Way better flavor than the KD i grew up with. not as rich as block velveeta mac and cheese of course.

Best of all the Annie's mac and cheese products. Eat half and save half for another meal. Takes good re-heated with a little milk.

Now this is the best macaroni cheese I have had from a packet. Simple to make and taste absolutely lovely.

Anne's Mac & Cheese is always my household favourite, and this one with aged cheddar is no exception! Tasty and affordable as a simple snack or meal.

Its easy to make and very tasty

SO delicious!

The taste reminds me of home. I live in England now but as a kid growing up in America this was so easy to make and still is. It’s gotten more expensive over the years (I think due to import tax and inflation?) but I wish it was cheaper as you only get one big sized meal out of it or 2 if you stretch it out.
