Chef Boyardee Chef Boyardee Mac & Cheese, 15 oz

I bought for food storage/prepps. Not too bad. Not the greatest tasting but its ok. 350 calories per can and 11g of protein for $1. Definitely worth having for an emergency if on a budget. Its easy to digest too. Unlike tomato based pasta its easy on my stomach and doesn't trigger my acid reflex. Good emergency food for the pantry. It would probably taste better warm but I'm consuming it room temperature and its ok. Great nutrition to cost. Would be good for prepping, camping or a quick easy meal. I'm very happy with this product.

I’m giving this canned nausea 4/5 stars because it’s exactly what it’s supposed to be, and not what it’s not supposed to be; that’s good mac n cheese and edible. So, in an absolute rush, I accidentally ordered 6 cans of this sadness in order to meet the minimum for overnight early morning shipping on a fine (quality, not nib size, that’s medium, if you’re curious) Hongdian M2 fountain pen, with which I was able to write endless prose on the experience of consuming 6 agonizing cans of this … is it legal—nay, moral, to call it pasta? “But, why?” My children asked as I plowed through can after can, only 2 heated, the other 4 straight out of the can like Job proving his faith to the God that is Chef Boyardee. To which I responded quite seriously remembering and longing for my Army field training days in which MREs (Meal, Ready to eat) were our primary source of calories, so many calories crammed into each “meal” they had no room left for flavor, probably for the best I suppose, “Kids,” said I, “sometimes in life you have to eat what’s there just to put calories in your face so you don’t starve.” They looked at me strangely, undoubtedly thinking starvation may have been the better choice. But I plowed on, confident that at the least my body would have very little trouble ridding itself of the “food,” what with the clear similarity between its starting and ending states. Now I have eaten school style, large batch baked mac n cheese on both coasts and the Midwest, pressure cooked, convenience store, microwaveable, tv dinner, every brand name and store brands (my typical favorite), shells, elbow, spiral, various franchise characters shapes, and this is, hands down, the winner for the worst Mac n cheese I have ever in my 46 years, eaten. THAT is why it gets 4/5 stars. It is sooo good at being bad, there must have been a concerted effort put forth to achieve this. God bless you, Chef Boyardee, wherever you are.

It's a gooey, golden flood of cheesy goodness, balancing perfectly between sharp and creamy.

The biggest benefit of this is getting it ready made from the can, so no need to add water or boil the noodles. The flavor is the least desirable thing about it. It's pretty bland with a bit of tanginess that I assume to be cheese-like but ends up tasting kind of weird especially compared to Kraft Mac and Cheese which I consider to taste excellent. Texture is a little mushy, but I kind of expected it coming from a can. It's pretty cheap, so I would say try it, but don't expect too much.
