Stouffer's Frozen Mac and Cheese

Since I keep comparing everything to Stouffer's, I figure it is fitting I give it an official review. Now that I am on a diet, it is a rarity I get to eat it, but when I do... oh man is it good.

Review: When it comes to frozen macaroni and cheese, there is none better than Stouffer's. It has a perfect blend of cheese, cream, and pasta. This may end up being a major Stouffer's ad, but I don't care! This stuff is amazing! There are downsides though such as the insane amount of calories and fat it contains. A big drawback from it may be that each box has practically a week's worth of sodium. People who don't like salt or are watching their sodium intake should be very aware. Therefore if you are on a diet or realize that gaining 4 pounds from 10 minutes of please may not be worth it, you should probably limit yourself to 1 box a month at the most.

Cheese: The cheese sauce is fantastic. It's made with real cheese, is super creamy, and very very flavorful. It's sharp and salty and really takes control of the dish while the pasta adds great texture.
Pasta: A thick large elbow macaroni that is very fresh tasting for a frozen dish. It holds the cheese in very well. It is soft, but still holds its shape and has its own texture no matter how long you microwave it (within reason).
Aftertaste: It leaves a pleasant aftertaste; it's cheesy, but doesnt turn sour.
7-Minute test: It can get a film on top of it if it sits too long, but a stir mixes it back in and there's no problem. It does solidify if it sits too long, say 15 minutes, but you will eat it up so quick it's not a problem.

Advice: Depending on the size and type, after it tells you to stir then insert back in the microwave and continue cooking, be sure to add an extra 1-2 minutes to the final cooking time. That way some of the cheese will burn/crust onto the side of the tray and it is the best part of it all. Yum Yum.
