Trader Joe’s Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese

View description

Trader Joe’s Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese rises to meet all of your childhood memories and more! Each box contains little tube-shaped Macaroni that you boil in a saucepan to your desired tenderness. We recommend 7-9 minutes. To the drained pasta, add 4 tablespoons of butter (we suggest salted), ¼ cup of milk, and the included cheese packet. The Cheddar Cheese seasoning blend creates a creamy, ultra-cheesy sauce to coat the tubes inside and out. And that classic orange color only comes naturally, from annatto and paprika. Trader Joe’s Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese is so good, just as it is. But you can also doctor it up, as you please. For an extra rich & tangy sauce, try mixing 1-2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s Plain Greek Whole Milk Yogurt into the warm, drained pasta, just before adding the Cheese packet. Or add a couple squirts of TJ’s Sriracha Sauce for a little bit of heat. And why not make it a meal by crumbling in some cooked Caramelized Onion & Bell Pepper Turkey Patties? However you prepare our classic Mac & Cheese, it’s sure to satisfy the kids you know—including the kid in you!

View description

Joe’s Diner Four Cheese Mac & Cheese really does taste like you made it yourself – some have said even better. It starts with carefully cooked elbow macaroni. The semolina, smile-shaped pasta is bathed in an ooey-gooey- and-oh-so-creamy sauce that showcases a generous amount of four shredded cheeses – Cheddar, Havarti, Gouda, and Swiss. Smoothed with milk and butter, the cheeses melt to blanket the elbows beautifully – though, a quick stir can seriously spread the gooey-d-ness. Whether you heat in the microwave (about 5 minutes) or bake it in the oven (about 25 minutes), our Mac ‘n Cheese easily becomes the kind of cozy dish that leaves you feeling satisfied and happy.
