Yes! I love Kraft Mac and cheese when I'm at home and feeling lazy, but I don't even put it in the same category as real mac and cheese in my head. They're totally different foods.

by Beckersedrick 7 months ago

You sound like one of those mono-eaters. Nothing but french fries or frozen pizza for every single meal. I'll eat Kraft, but it's a far cry from all the amazing variations of home made and restaurant made mac and cheese. You ain't no foodie, that's for sure. A very sad opinion and I feel sorry for you and your taste buds.

my mom used to teach kindergarten and said the kids only ever wanted to eat fries, chicken nuggets/fingers, grilled cheese, mac n cheese(the way op described), tots and stuff like that. she calls it the beige diet and it's what I think of anytime I hear an opinion like ops - that of a 5 year old.

If Kraft mac and cheese is the best Mac you had, I am sorry for your loss. You need to find nice Southern old lady to cook you some baked mac and cheese. That is just perfectly seasoned for you. You're really missing a very important part of your life and a very important artery clogged.

I can cook pretty decently. People usually really like my food. I've yet to make a max and cheese better than Kraft, and I've tried a metric ton of recipes. Don't get me wrong, they're delicious in their own respect. I personally like baking it with breadcrumbs after. They still don't compare. Maybe it's because I grew up with Kraft, so there's an aspect of nostalgia that just can't be replicated.

by turcottecarrie 7 months ago

Kraft is consistency. I've had some great Mac and cheeses at some places but absolutely bad at other places. Some go light on the cheese sauce. Some add stupid stuff like breadcrumbs or bacon bits.

by Anonymous 7 months ago

Nope, you went mono eater on this. I'm a mono eater and I would not touch kraft mac and cheese to save my life. Not all of us eat this weird a way as you think we do. Mine is because I have twice as many taste buds than most folks do and my brain recognizes tastes in different areas of my tongue than most people do. People who purposely eat powdered processed cheese like crap can't talk about someone being a foodie because they obviously can't taste anything anyway.

"cheese-like powder" is why, even as a kid, I found Kraft Max and Cheese SO GROSS. 🤢 I still find most Kraft Products very nasty. I make a homemade Mac And Cheese that's to die for. I make most things with self-grown or self-made products, with the exception of milk. Making homemade cheese is so easy, and the end result of whatever you make with it is going to be so much better than whatever a restaurant or Kraft dishes out

I actually lowkey know what they're talking about with restaurant macaroni and cheese. It def depends where you go, but some restaurants will absolutely just slather this weird cheese pasta sauce over the noodles and it's gross. Home baked macaroni and cheese obviously beats out Kraft, but I do think that Kraft is better than the restaurants claiming they make macaroni and cheese but really just use that cheese sauce.

Speaking of Kraft...if you have to eat Kraft...you can add some real cheese to it and make it better.

by Danyka01 7 months ago

The Kraft velveeta and deluxe versions are much better than the original powdered one. Because the powdered one is only good when it's hot off the stove … it loses its flavor as it cools and reheating it doesn't help. The other kraft versions contain "real" (not powdered) cheese and this issue affects them far less. As for restaurants - yeah, I've had many that are genuinely not better than Kraft. But many that blow Kraft out of the water.
