Amy’s Frozen Organic Macaroni & Cheese
Amy’s Frozen Organic Macaroni & Cheese is made with white cheddar cheese. “Amy’s Mac and Cheese is quite frankly my daughter’s favorite! She would much rather grab a frozen Mac & cheese from them- over eating out. Less expensive and I don’t feel bad because it’s organic and quality ingredients. Even though it’s plenty tasty and super creamy- she loves to put lots of black pepper,” one Target shopper said.
Beecher’s “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese
Beecher’s “World’s Best” Mac & Cheese is made with the brand’s iconic Flagship cheese. “Gotta give them credit. They call themselves ‘world best’ and they manage to back that up,” one Redditor said. “It’s so good. I buy this at Costco,” another said.
Blake’s Old Fashioned Mac & Cheese
Blake’s Old Fashioned Mac & Cheese is made with white cheddar cheese. “I have eaten many different frozen Mac n cheese including gluten free ones. This brand is the closest to home made and very, very good! Have bought several times and always have enjoyed!” one Sprouts shopper said.

Feel Good Foods 3 Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites
Feel Good Foods 3 Cheese Mac & Cheese Bites contains a blend of cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. “Creamy mac and real cheese tucked into a crispy gluten-free shell. Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside—it’s melt-in-your-mouth magic,” the company says.
Trader Joe’s Diner Four Cheese Mac & Cheese
Trader Joe’s Diner Four Cheese Mac & Cheese is made with Cheddar, Havarti, Gouda, and Swiss. “Smoothed with milk and butter, the cheeses melt to blanket the elbows beautifully – though, a quick stir can seriously spread the gooey-d-ness,” the company says.
Kidfresh Wagon Wheels Mac & Cheese
Kidfresh Wagon Wheels Mac & Cheese is made with cheddar cheese and pureed carrots, a great option for getting kids to eat more vegetables. “I love these Kidfresh meals.
