We Asked 3 Chefs to Name the Best Boxed Mac and Cheese, and They All Picked the Same One

In a surprising consensus, three professional chefs agreed on the best boxed mac and cheese:
Annie’s Organic Shells & White Cheddar
The chefs cited several reasons for their choice:
- Rich, authentic cheese flavor
- Smooth, creamy texture
- High-quality organic ingredients
- Versatility as a base for customization
While they acknowledged that taste preferences can vary, all three chefs praised Annie’s for its superior flavor profile and the fact that it doesn’t rely on artificial ingredients or excessive preservatives. They noted that it’s a great option for both quick meals and as a starting point for more elaborate mac and cheese dishes.
