Probably the worst thing I ever tried.
Probably the worst thing I ever tried.
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.
Is that Hanford, CA? lol, I remember the drinking water problem there.
Nope Hanford, WA
It's like the FDA doesn't even exist anymore.
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.
White cheddar? Those "simply" cheetos are fucking delicious.
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.
The weird thing is, there is no other mac n cheese available in my country, or flaming hot Cheetos.
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?
The food importer really went balls to the wall freedom eagle liberty on you.
I made this once. Had everyone in my house try it. Multiple people gagged.
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.
I tried these once and it gave me diarrhea
Sucks to be you then. I've had many of these with no problems
My son and I loved it! 😂
You need to feed your son better food lol
My son loved the idea, and went back to Cabot Mac and cheese the next time. To each their own. Sometimes a snack is whatever you can convince them to eat that day.
Fed is better than not fed.
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:
- First of all if it's soupy, then you've added WAY too much water. It's not supposed to be like that.
- Second, it's generally a bad idea to microwave or pour boiling water in to mixes like this because: 1) the stuff usually doesn't cook very well, and 2) whatever's in the container will usually leech in to the food. This probably isn't too bad for this Cheeto's stuff (cup is made with cardboard and maybe plastic / wax coating), but is dreadful for the instant ramen mixes, which usually use styrofoam.
- So, it's best to start with some veggies in a pot before adding the ingredients. Stuff like onions, thinly-sliced cabbage, maybe a tomato make a huge difference. Since you're already likely a spice-head if you're trying this out, add some extra red pepper flakes and maybe some curry powder, too. After that all cooks for a while, THEN add the noodles. Could throw an egg in there, too.
- Cook until noodles are soft, drain any excess water if necessary, then stir in the flavoring and some extra grated parm or similar.
- What you get is a deliciously spicy alt to mac & cheese which features thinner, tastier noodles and all kind of extra flavors. Perfect cold weather snack IMO.
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.
I'm just gonna take your word for it lmao
Water?! I've never made mac and cheese without milk, occasionally cream if it's all i got.
Then again i can't stand tomatoe soup made with water and not milk either.
Guess its just what you learned to expect from being a kid
It's like if Ramen was soaked in really gross Mac n cheese and also some how more unpleasant.
I need those. I hope they make it into the German market.
Didn't they yet? I bought this at a Lidl in Poland.
The hottest spice I've ever tasted whenever I've been in Germany has been salt. Everything has been so mild, I'm pretty sure this will never be sold there.
But this shit wasn't spicy at all. It just tasted like vomit.
So disappointing. No flavour in it at all.
needs more tabasco
Ok, so the packaging design made me think this was a faked cereal at first (you know, that you add milk to) and then I read that you tried some, and was genuinely horrified.
The reality in comparison is much less alarming lmao..
I'd probably at least try it if I still ate dairy.. ¯\(ツ)/¯I've seen them, I really don't want to try them.
If other people like them in this post, it's cool.
But personally, I like to start with a nice traditional macaroni & cheese and just add a high quality hot sauce or salsa on top.
Pasta with Cheeto-flavored cheese flavoring.
