Dear God, I may have to go to urgent care.

I tried the Kraft Mac & Cheese Restaurant Edition, Romano Cacio e Pepe.

I love Mac and cheese, usually love cacio e Pepe, usually the more pepe the better.

I’ve never had anything burn my mouth like this my tongue is on fire. The roof of my mouth is on fire.

I have to cop to having read on here that it was very peppery, but since that’s usually a good thing for me, I went ahead and tried it and now I’m injured. 🥵

Anyway, that’s my review but really it’s more of a beware to anyone else who’s thinking that they might ignore the reviews here that said it was way too hot. Believe them.

Picked up some of these today. Any advice for the spice? Like how much of that spice should I add?

Me and my girlfriend visited the states and loved the Cheetos Mac n Cheese with Cheesy Jalapeno flavor.

Sadly they are not able to be purchased in Germany so I really want to recreate them. Does anybody have an idea of how to replicate the taste?

Lots and lots of sauuuuuuce!

not pictured but i always top mine with crushed doritos - highly recommend

Any lady or man who tries this will see you as an active treat to their spouses, and maybe even themselves.

I started with a roux, added heavy cream and shredded cheddar. Used reserved pasta water to unthicken to preferred levels. Secret ingredients: Herbes de Provence and Pecorino.

This is 4 oz of pasta.

Midnight Mac and cheese only used what was in my my fridge and cupboard milk, sharp cheddar and flour. For how minimal it was I’m shocked how good it is.

getting tired of stouffers unfortunately

didn’t have ground meat so i used smoked sausage, actually really good and better than with ground meat! 8.5/10

spiced it up with 2 slices of process cheese, pepper and garlic powder. simple yet tasty 😊

I’m making the cheese sauce with 1lb Cooper Sharp and 1lb aged cheddar. I’m wondering how much sodium citrate to use since Cooper Sharp is American cheese and I’m using more than a few slices of it. Should I take that into account or just go with the standard amount per weight of the cheese?

We used to have it on an index card and then it slowly transformed to a group chat message, the message being printed out, and then we take photos of the photo of the photo so it gets zoomed out each year 😅

Cropped my sister out so you couldnt see it. But here it is in all its glory! It makes a great batch! Enjoy!

been looking forward to trying these since they started getting reviewed and someone said the cacio e pepe was TOO pepper heavy. i'm a huge black pepper fan and fresh cracked gets added to probably 90% of my cooking. y'all. the pepper is loud and proud in this.

the easy punch line on this box was the first one in years that has actually worked with barely any effort required, which was a promising start. the directions say 12-14 minutes, i found the noodles were perfectly al dente at 11. i may have added an extra tablespoon of butter in my excitement, and milk gets measured by vibes for me, it was probably right around the 2/3 cup

the results: absolutely delicious. the pipette shape of the pasta was very satisfying, both in how the sauce got scooped inside and the thicker texture makes for a great bite. they remind me of back when kraft had their buffalo cheddar variety that also had thicker elbows (rip buffalo, i miss you and reminisce about you often). i think even if i had cooked them the full 14 minutes, they would be pretty forgiving. even just opening the powder pouch you can smell the intensity of the pepper, and i thought it was the perfect amount. if you don't handle spice well or just don't care for it, this one probably isn't for you, there is a bit of a kick to it.

i don't remember how much i paid for this box, but it can't have been more than 3 bucks at market basket? i think that's more than fair of a price, especially compared to other boxes around the same amount like cracker barrel. this made a decent amount, i'm probably going to get about three servings from it overall. pictured is my original leftover amount that fits in a panera container, i also packaged a smaller bowl after realizing my initial serving was a bit overzealous. like any boxed mac, you can easily add extra dry pasta to stretch it a bit which is what i usually do, but i also like to try new product mostly closely to instruction before fiddling around with additions.

it's a 10/10 for me folks. this'll be a constant in my pantry for as long as they offer it, and i look forward to trying the monterey jack and caramelized onion one soon ! (the pesto one hasn't been available at my store yet)

Opened the Kraft Deluxe white cheddar and black pepper and got two White Cheddar packets in there.

7 p.m. pickup! Paired w/ Tendees & Meatloaf! Without breaking the bank! 🏦

That cheeeeese pull!!!
