Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese Microwaveable Bowls #Giveaway (Ends 11/4)

Is there anyone on the planet who doesn’t like mac and cheese? (Apologies to all you lactose-intolerant folks out there.)

Next to chicken nuggets, mac & cheese is one of my kids’ favorite meals. I think Ryan’s blood must be fluorescent orange by now from all that cheesy powder he’s ingested the past few years. He’s soooo particular about his mac & cheese too. It has to be Kraft. And it has to be the normal straight macaroni. No wacky shapes for that kid.

Recently at a Hasbro party, I was chatting with the PR folks from Hunter PR and found out that they work with Kraft. Well it didn’t take me long to twist a few arms and get them to hook me up with Kraft’s new Homestyle mac & cheese products. (Thanks, Charlotte!)

I haven’t met a product with bacon in it that I didn’t like…

Personally, I’m not the hugest mac & cheese fan in the world. Meaning, it’s not something I normally think of eating. But if I do eat it, sure it’s good. It’s pasta. And cheese. What’s not to love?!?

Kraft’s Homestyle line consists of three yummy-sounding varieties: Hearty Four Cheese, Sharp Cheddar and Bacon, and White Cheddar. I don’t have to tell you twice which one I tried first…

Here’s what it looks like when you first open the bowl.
And here’s what it looks like once you add the water and get ready to cook!

For an experienced non-chef like myself, these microwaveable bowls are pretty much idiot proof. Open up one spice packet and dump in. Add water to cover the pasta (there’s even a line to show you how much). Then nuke the whole thing for 4 1/2 minutes. When that’s done, stir in the cheese sauce and in this case, the bacon bits.

That’s pretty much it. It’s a microwavable meal that involves some mixing and pouring, so I’d consider this actual cooking!

When you’re all done, here’s how it looks:

Macaroni. Cheese. Bacon. Paradise, perhaps?

Now the tough part. How’s it taste?

Get in me belly!

Exactly as you’d expect, yumtastic! Yes, I pretty much cleaned out the bowl.

And now for some basic info from Kraft:

  1. Would love to see a Kraft Macaroni and cheese with Breakfast sausage- I often make this, family loves the cheese macaroni with the sage flavored sausage; filling nd very good. I use Turkey breakfast sausage for this.

  2. It’s really a great and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you shared this useful info with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
