Boxed Mac and Cheese is just so much easier and cheaper.

Kraft  - Kraft
Oh my gosh, mac and cheese is like my comfort food. And not anybody can make homemade mac and cheese the same. If I make it, then I like it. But most of the time it is Kraft. Kraft and only Kraft is the only box mac and cheese that I will eat!

Macaroni and Cheese - Kraft macaroni and cheese
I may be weird here but I don't think anyone makes Macaroni and Cheese like Kraft! I have eaten homemade and it actually makes my stomach flip. I really like Kraft or velveeta much better.

I love homemade mac & cheese, but I generally use the box just because it's more convenient. The Velveeta brand with the cheese sauce seems to taste a bit more like homemade, but of course it's still not as good. We are so spoiled these days with all of the convenience foods around, aren't we? And the boxed stuff goes on sale for great prices all the time, so it's hard to resist.

i love home made but the kids don't like it my 6 yr old is very funny about cheese and if i don't have alot of time i just cook the noodles and make my own cheese sauce put some bread crumbs on top and bake till hot. so i very much perfer home made.

I love making homemade mac and cheese and baking the cheese to a crisp, but if I'm just trying to make a quick side to go with dinner I'll just make it from a box. I always get asked to make my baked mac and cheese though, anytime we have a get together.

I prefer homemade, but I never have time to make it. The boxed stuff is quick and easy, but just not as good. The frozen stuff to me is better than boxed and tastes closer to homemade.

If I have time - the real thing, home made of course. If I am in a hurry - box!

Homemade mac and cheese is better but we usually don't have time si it is easier to use the box. But we buy the one that doesn't have the powdered cheese and we put in extra cheese of our own. It tastes pretty good.

I'm pretty lazy and use the box. My mom would sometimes use the box but other times make it herself with melted Velveeta. A friend once made me some great homemade four-cheese mac & cheese, one of the best I've ever had.

I was raised on home made baked macaroni and cheese. When I got married My wife made me the box stuff and I choose to think of them as 2 different things. I lik eboth but I think of them separately

i used to love mac and cheese in a box as a kid but now i think it's disgusting. i won't eat it out of a box or home made.
