This is awesome! I hate box mac & cheese. My kids all love it however so I keep trying new kinds because I do like Mac & cheese and would love to find a box mix that tastes somewhat homemade - this is wonderful! It totally fits that bill - it's creamy and tastes like homemade - I will only give 5 stars to the original however, don't like the other flavors.

yuck. I got this for free in the general mills holiday box and I was very excited to try it. it was so horrible and made me extremely ill. I used all fresh milk and butter so no doubt it was from the mac and cheese packet. for some reason it won't let me give me less than 2 1/2 stars, but for sure I would give it no stars!

Tried one of each of the flavors now available in my area... This was awful. I was hugely disappointed in this product. I was expecting Kraft Blue Box quality at the very least, since it is carrying the Betty Crocker name. Poor texture and consistency as well as lack of cheese flavor. ** I prepared it exactly as the package instructed.**

I bought this for my boyfriend to try and he really liked it! He did mention that it was important to read the directions since it's prepared differently than the Kraft version.. I'll be buying Betty Crocker more often! (He has only tried the Original, not other flavors)

I am not sure if people are making this stuff wrong or what. If you follow the directions, it comes out just fine. I actually like this stuff more than the Kraft or Velveeta kinds (which to me seem sticky and taste fake.) This stuff tastes more creamy than "cheddary." Maybe that's the deal. It reminds me more of a mac and cheese you'd get as a side at a restaurant or something, rather than the stuff out of the box. If you follow the directions, and then let it cool in your bowl for maybe 30 seconds, it thickens right up to a nice creamy sauce. Kraft is like neon-orange space powder in comparison. My daughter is a VERY picky eater, and she always complains that our mac and cheese doesn't taste good like Grammy's. She won't eat the stuff with the squeeze packets of cheese. I was scared to make this stuff for her and she LOVES the Betty Crocker mac and cheese. She has had all of the flavors and likes them all. My husband and I like it, too. It's better for you than the Kraft brand, AND cheaper, so we'll be buying this from now on. I'm wondering if the negative posters below followed the directions, or if they work for Kraft :P

Seems I may be in the minority here. I bought this because it was new, Betty Crocker and under 90 cents! The first time I made it I didn't read the directions (figured it would be like Kraft) and so I threw that out. The second time I was prepared. I thought it took longer to make but I think that is just because it's 'different' than the others. I did not eat it the first day. However, I took it for leftovers for my lunch and holy cheese it is cheesy! It was really good ad a leftover were as I always throw out Kraft because it is too dry. I'll buy it again for the fact the leftovers are amazing and we always throw out the other stuff after it is made if it isn't eaten. Also, it is healthier than the Kraft version (less calories, carbs).

A couple of other reviews below say it as well as I will, but it's worth reiterating: AVOID. The idea is for this to be a meeting of a true cheese-sauce style Mac & Cheese with the ease of the Kraft box powder. The result, though, is bland, gummy and unappealing that takes significant time to prepare. There's are leftovers sitting in my trashcan. Usually, we never have Mac & Cheese leftovers. And even if we did, we'd usually save and reheat. Not this Betty Crocker version: straight into the trash. For the long-ish cooking time, effort, amount of milk and butter needed, the Stouffers frozen version is a much better bargain and is far more convenient. Again, AVOID. You will be disappointed.

Made 2 boxes of your original mac and cheese,this is the worst tasting mac/cheese on the market. Did B.C. close the taste testing kichens, our grandkids would not eat this ,my wife through it out.Makes me now question other B.C. products.

I bought this expecting it to be bland. I usually drain noodles then add stuff and I dont use much milk, but I tried to follow the directions and it actually turned out really good. Just have to let it thicken.
