This gluten-free mac and cheese delivers a nostalgic boxed macaroni experience reminiscent of the Kraft classic, complete with a powdered cheese sauce mix. Once reconstituted, the sauce tends to be slightly sweeter than some homemade versions. For best texture, cook the rice pasta al dente so it holds its shape, and consider using a bit less liquid than the package suggests to prevent the sauce from becoming too thin. Overall, Annie’s offers a convenient, widely available, kid-friendly option for a quick gluten-free mac and cheese meal.
