Spiced Macaroni Side Dishes

Bob Evans Queso Macaroni & Cheese Elevates a Classic Recipe

Bob Evans Queso Macaroni & Cheese is the one of the latest offerings from the brand crafted as an elevated twist on a classic recipe that's perfect for shaking up mealtime traditions. The product features the base flavors of traditional macaroni and cheese alongside fresh red and green peppers and hints of spice for a medium level of spiciness. This gives the pasta dish a Tex-Mex queso dish-inspired flavor that's ready to be heated up and eaten in just five-minute in the microwave.

Vice President of Brand Marketing Ciare James spoke on the Bob Evans Queso Macaroni & Cheese saying, "Our new Queso Macaroni & Cheese provides consumers with a convenient choice for sharing a zesty dish during social events like game day gatherings, or adding an extra burst of flavour to weeknight dinners."
