(12 pack) Great Value Original Macaroni & Cheese, 7.25 oz

This is my go to meal at home! It tastes just like it did when I was a kid! Honestly it is perfect for a quick meal. Everyone loves it! We do it as a main course and as a side!! If you really want a blast from the past cut up some hot dogs and put them in there! 90’s gourmet dinner from when your mom wasn’t home to cook dinner and dad let you pick whatever!

As a connoisseur of comfort food, I've sampled my fair share of macaroni and cheese, from gourmet restaurant creations to various boxed varieties. So, when I recently picked up a box of Great Value Macaroni %26 Cheese, I admit my expectations were modest. After all, "great value" often implies an emphasis on budget over brilliance. However, I was absolutely thrilled to be proven wrong. This unassuming box holds a truly delightful and surprisingly delicious experience! From the moment you open the box, the simplicity of preparation is a major win – perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a comforting side dish. But the real magic happens once it's cooked. The pasta consistently achieves that perfect al dente texture, never mushy or overly soft, which is a common pitfall for many boxed mac and cheeses. Then comes the cheese. Oh, the cheese! It's rich, creamy, and possesses that quintessential tangy-yet-mellow flavor that defines classic macaroni and cheese. It coats every noodle beautifully, creating a silky, satisfying mouthfeel that's incredibly addictive. There's a comforting familiarity to the taste that evokes childhood memories, yet it doesn't taste artificial or overly processed. In fact, it's remarkably close to homemade, but without all the fuss. Whether you're looking for a nostalgic trip down memory lane, a quick and satisfying meal for the kids (or yourself!), or simply a budget-friendly option that doesn't compromise on taste, Great Value Macaroni %26 Cheese is an absolute winner. It consistently delivers on flavor, texture, and pure comfort. Don't let the price fool you – this is a true gem in the world of boxed meals and a testament to the fact that great taste doesn't always have to come with a hefty price tag. Highly, highly recommend!

As a former Kraft devotee, Great value Mac n cheese has won me over. I think that Kraft has made recipe changes over the years (probably trying to improve the nutritional properties, like less sodium), but I want the good ole salty boxed Mac n cheese, and this fits the bill. I am a budget conscious meal planner, and I often feel like serving sizes on packaged meals are a complete joke, but this makes decent portions which makes it a steal for the $$. Family favorite recipe: Brown 6-8 ounces of beef (or gardein/boca crumbles for vegetarians). Add a couple of big squirts of ketchup and mustard and a heaping spoonful of Vlasic dill relish to the beef and mix together. Then add a box of Great Value Mac ‘n Cheese (we like the shells and cheese with it as well) prepared as directed to the burger mix, stir all together for a yummy and filling dinner that fills 2 large teenage boys or a family of 3-4 that aren’t giant bottomless pits filled with angst and hormones.

I love mac and cheese but had never attempted to made it myself. Saw this GV brand on sale for a unbelievable low price, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so very glad I did. Super easy to make. Mistrake proof and fabulous taste, all I added was some cayenne pepper and used half and half instead of 2% milk. Will definitely be buying again and again!

So easy to make. When I'm rushed, I put the cooking temperature on low, taker a timer with me set at twenty minutes, take a shower, come back and my macaroni is usually cooked to perfection. I give it a quick stir, put the lid back on, let it sit for a few minutes and then it's ready to drain.

we have a 3 generation household and from my mom to myself and kids we all love this Great Value Macaroni and Cheese for our side side on a plate and also just to eat by itself. Grandma says it's soft enough for her to chew really well and so delicious. Kids would eat this everyday if I would let them and I love how quick and easy it is to prepare it and it really does taste so good. I'm saving so much money and not skipping out on taste by switching from Kraft mac and cheese to Great Value Mac and Cheese. I buy the 12 pack weekly for our house and it's a main request. Thank you Walmart for making such delicious and affordable food for our house and so many families

It’s an easy to fix quick meal. It is less expensive than Kraft’s version and it tastes just as good or you can make it better. If you have some extra cheddar cheese in your fridge, shred it very fine and add it into the cooking process to jig e it an extra cheesy bump. I like to change up my foods a bit so after the sauce sets up, this is when you can add small diced foods to make it better - like diced ham, cooked crumbled hamburger or chicken. I like a bit of spice so I dice a jalapeño and add it into but I have also added in cooked diced mushrooms or broccoli- and make it into a more rounded meal - it always tastes great

This is my son’s go-to for a quick, hot meal. It’s cheap, fast, and easy, perfect for a quick lunch when you don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking. For me personally, it doesn’t quite compare to the name brand in flavor. But my son says it tastes just as good, and he’s the one eating it. Between the price and the fact that he’s happy with it, that’s a win in my book.

I was going thru hard times so I switched from kraft to great value, I got a boost so I got kraft thinking it was better. Boy was I ever wrong the great value was much better and the price difference is so good, I thought it looked like the great value did not make as much but it turned out to be false they both make the same amount and I liked the taste better of the great value I made them both and compared them. Great value for the win. To feed a family you need two boxes it is the same for both.

I’ve purchased this exact product multiple times and it always contained elbow macaroni. My most recent purchase had straight noodles instead. The texture and quality are not the same. If the product has changed, the packaging should reflect that. Very disappointed.
