Betty Crocker’s Macaroni and Cheese

In our quest to find that perfect potluck macaroni and cheese I couldn’t go without trying Betty Crocker’s Macaroni and Cheese! We were all excited because we knew it had to be good! I learned my lesson from The Lady’s Mac so I put this macaroni and cheese in a much deeper dish. It was very gooey and creamy and after the first bite we looked at each other and laughed. This macaroni and cheese tastes exactly like Stouffer’s Macaroni and Cheese.

Seriously, if you took a blind bite of each you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference! The boys were thrilled because they love Stouffer’s Mac and Cheese, Justin and I love it too but personally I would prefer to stick a frozen box in the oven to cooking in the kitchen for an hour. So this isn’t a recipe I will make again because I’ll buy the easier Stouffer’s version in the freezer section of my grocery store, but I would suggest this macaroni and cheese to anyone who doesn’t have Stouffer’s! It truly is THE BEST macaroni and cheese!
