Annie's Homegrown Totally Natural Shells & Real Aged Cheddar Mac & Cheese, 6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

The trick to Annie's is to use only butter and no milk (or just a splash). Using all of the milk that the directions call for will give you cheese of a watery consistency. This is also a really good deal on this stuff, considering that it is about $2 per box in the grocery store.

I am very careful when it comes to organic and natural food and this is one of the main reasons to choose Annie's brand and in particular their mac & cheese over other options on the market. I am very, very satisfied with the quality and taste, and I eagerly recommend them.

When you mix the cheese sauce with milk, the mixture becomes too thin. So I mix a small amount of cheese into the shells along with the other sauce, and this makes it more thick.

Maybe this is TMI, but after trying Annie's mac n cheese, I've noticed I no longer have to "run" to the restroom after having consumed it like the Kraft brand has always done to me. Makes me wonder what I was consuming?? My kids have had nothing but Annie's and can't get enough...It truly does taste great! I also agree with the previous post in that you'll get more in the box of shells versus the Arthurs or other shapes...

When it c omes to eating box food, this is the way to go. I love this stuff. Organic, and very good. You can make it with milk, or yogart, and it is always easy and fast. I only wish you could order a box with a variety of types, and not all the same flavor.
