What did Kraft do to their recipe? I bought a package of macaroni and cheese and each one turned to much when I cooked it. All of the noodles completely fell apart when I stirred in the milk, butter and cheese mix. It's disgusting. And it was all 5 packs so I know it's not user error. It's mac from a package for crying out loud! This is like EasyMac. I'm never buying Kraft macaroni and cheese again.
Yes same thing has happened to me but only with the shapes. And it doesn't taste very good when it's all mushy
The last 2 boxes of original mac and cheese that I cooked turned to mush also. Neither had expired and I only cook them 7 minutes (el dente). I don't know if I will buy anymore because I am on disability and don't have money to waste!
Agreed! We bought a mega pack of Mac and cheese from Sam's club. We eat it a lot with fish during Lent. At first I thought it was my son's issue and cooking it too long. Then I went to make it. The water turned white then got really thick. In less than five minutes the noodles were cooked and mushy. I read about modified food starch being in it to keep the water from boiling over. Tonight I tried pouring it into a drainer first to remove and starch. Nothing came out. Then I rinsed it first and it got sticky. After a few minutes, it started getting a little mushy so I rinsed it in cold water and mixed the sauce in a separate pan. After mixing the two, it was still very mushy. The cooking pan was coated with a thick white "sauce" after pouring out the noodles before adding the sauce.
My kids love Mac n cheese and lately the mac n cheese is off. I will not be buying mac n cheese anymore. It's a waste of money now for crap food that just turns mushy and ends up in the garbage. I refuse to feed it to my kids. Now tonight my son refuses to eat anything else i have offered him, all because he wanted mac n cheese and now he can't have any so thank you Kraft for ruining something my kids have loved to eat.
