Trader Joe's is offering a better-for-you take on a staple dish with the debut of its new boxed Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese.
Designed to taste just like what you enjoyed as a kid (but with a bit of a better ingredient list), the new product is perfect for satisfying those comfort food cravings. Each box contains some tube-shaped macaroni noodles that you boil until tender. After the pasta is drained, you can add butter, a splash of milk, and the included cheddar cheese seasoning packet. This seasoning blend is ultra-cheesy and boasts a bright orange hue that comes naturally from the use of annatto and paprika _ no artificial dyes involved. The result is an ultra-cheesy, ultra-creamy, and ultra-satisfying mac 'n cheese that comes together in mere minutes.
