Bacon-Packed Heat-and-Eat Noodles

Bob Evans Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Elevates the Comfort Food

Bob Evans Bacon Macaroni & Cheese is a new take on the classic comfort food dish that's crafted with convenience, flavor and quality in mind to work well for foodies this fall. The product starts off with a base of macaroni noodles that are smothered in cheese sauce and paired with bacon in the mix to give the dish a rich, meaty profile. The product was developed by the brand with consumer demand as the inspiration, boasts a refrigerated recipe and only needs to be heated up to be eaten to maximize convenience.

Bob Evans Bacon Macaroni & Cheese is arriving now at Giant Eagle, Kroger, Meijer and additional retailers now in the US for shoppers to pick up this fall.
