I almost puked while preparing this from the smell alone. Went to the trash after two bites.
Hot take: this shit is delicious. And I hate both Flaming Hot Cheetos and Takis.
It tastes wholly unnatural and looks more radioactive than my aunt from Hanford but daggum if it doesn’t taste wonderfully spicy and cheesy (in a velveeta kind of way)
I couldn't detect any cheesy flavour in this.
That was my issue, too. I love garbage boxed mac 'n cheese and I like flamin' hot cheetos. This was neither, it was bland and acidic.
It's like the FDA doesn't even exist anymore.
The FDA only cares whether it's technically safe to eat, not whether it tastes good.
I’m not sure where to put these on a venn diagram between unsafe and tastes bad.
"Safe" merely means it doesn't contain any prohibited chemicals or unsafe levels of unavoidable contaminants (such as mercury in seafood). It's by no means a dietary endorsement.
My cousin loves this shit and idk how. It's so fucking gross. The dude mixes imitation crab in with it and says it's incredible. 🤢
Lol is your cousin a wild animal? That's insane
I'm pretty sure most wild animals avoid capscasin like the plague....
oh, good point. @LaunchesKayaks is your cousin a seagull?
capscasin
Well yeah of course they do. Most wild animals don't know how to speak French
Wait, is that Cheetos-flavored Mac and cheese, or Mac-and-cheese-flavored Cheetos?
It's Cheetos flavoured mac and cheese. I have trash tastes and had the jalapeno flavour once and I liked it.
Well, Cheddar Jalapeño is the best Cheeto flavor, so I can see that being the best Cheeto mac & cheese flavor too.
Yes
dude, you're not kidding. I tried this and it was beyond revolting. I had to tell my wife that we're never trying any crazy flavor of mac and cheese again as long as I live.
It tasted like ass. Literally had to rinse my mouth out after the first bite.
Yeah those are pretty bad. The spiral pasta though can be used with other Mac and cheese instead if you have an extra box of this stuff. I find the Annie's brand to be the ultimate box Mac and cheese since it seems like they use actual cheese lol and not whatever garbage they have in the Cheetos flavoring packet.
+1 for Annie's being the best. Just objectively true. Their white cheddar is my favorite.
I feel the Jalapeno one was the least worst of the three.
Thank God it's not just me! My wife eats just about a box of these per week. I tried it and thought that a bottle of acid diarrheaed in my mouth
Why would she do that
I stopped questioning her bad choices when she agreed to marry me
Are you my long lost twin? Did you marry my wife's long lost triplet? (She has a twin sister)
The weird thing is, there is no other mac n cheese available in my country, or flaming hot Cheetos.
Where do you live, hell?
Would you like a simple Mac and cheese recipe that goes well with almost any pasta except for spaghetti or angel hair?
.....what the fuck?
I made this once. Had everyone in my house try it. Multiple people gagged.
My kid keeps asking me to buy more
Euthanasia is still legal in some countries somewhere
It's legal in Canada
Thank you... MacN'Cheezuz!
Can confirm, these are absolute trash. Every flavour.
More for me! Not a fan of the flaming hot flavour in general, but i really like the Jalepeno cheddar
You and me both! The regular one is really good too. I don't mess with flaming hot.
Oh my fucking God.....they are like shitty Cheeto soup
My cousin loves this shit and idk how. It’s so fucking gross.
Oh my fucking God…they are like shitty Cheeto soup
If you make it as-is then yeah, I'm sure it's pretty mediocre, but similar to ramen, if you use some simple food hacks, then this stuff is friggin' delicious. Here's some tips:
If you're going to go through all of that for Cheetos Mac n cheese you're far better off just cooking actual food.
Not true.
As with loaded ramen, it takes very little effort to make this kind of meal.
Yeah, it might seem complicated for a first-timer, but if you simply experiment a couple times, you'll hit on a personalised, tasty hot snack that you can pretty much make in your sleep.
It takes less effort and ingredients to make agio de olio for example.
It's like if Ramen was soaked in really gross Mac n cheese and also some how more unpleasant.
Dude. If you add veggies, spices and parmesan to pasta, that's a meal. You don't need a packet of Cheeto flavouring. It will only make it worse.
needs more tabasco
Pasta with Cheeto-flavored cheese flavoring.
