Cheesy Made Easy!

Are there other flavors?  Today I tried out Kraft's "macaroni & cHeese cheesy made easy original flavor".  This packaging is extra special with it's typeface that can't decide if it's going with caps or lower case.  It also continues this blog's tradition (now two posts strong) of having products with especially long product descriptions!

Flavor:

Honestly, this little bowl of mac & cheese tastes like instant mac & cheese.  There's nothing special about it, but I was really in the mood for it.  The Frank's Red Hot that I added definitely kicked up the flavor though, making this lunch with added sauces more in the 3 to 4 spork range.

Cheapness:

Once again, this lunch comes in at $1.  One serving out of a whole box probably would have been cheaper, but it's in a microwave bowl and involves no cleanup.

Unhealthiness:

It's not too bad for you.  A little sat fat and cholesterol never killed anybody.  The sodium content is a little high but certainly less than a can of soup.  The carb content rolls in around 38g which is a little high for my lunch but pretty reasonable.

Stuffed:

I'm definitely not stuffed.  The little bowl left me a hair under full.  Nothing a glass or two of water won't fix, but if you're used to big lunches this definitely won't sate your appetite.

Convenience:

The prep is a little more complicated than ramen because you have to do a bit of stirring.  If you enjoy having cheese powder clumps then by all means you can count this as a 5 spork rating.
