salty!
Terrible! We couldn’t eat it. It was full of salt. I’m glad I tried it before I added my ground beef. I do not recommend.

Better than namebrand
My favorite over any other name brand pastas that come with the sauce packet. I’ll choose this over name brand in a heartbeat.

Will buy again
Usually, I’m a hard-core deluxe craft purchaser and wanted to give these a shot and these were very comparable

Good stuff.
It’s good. Not too far off from velvets shells. I love to add broccoli to it. My five year old loves it!

Needs less disgusting cheese
Bought this macaroni to save money because I’m on a tight budget. The macaroni shells are okay but the cheese is disgusting. Ate this and it made my stomach hurt.

Yum
Back when I ate Velveeta a lot I tried this and I switch instantly. Got old after awhile and it's been years since I last ate it. Was craving boxed Mac and cheese and got this on a whim and wow it's good. They definitely changed the flavor because now it actually tastes like cheese, not that over processed plastic salty flavor!

Nope
I'm a fan of Target brand items for their reliability, taste, and variety, but this is an absolute no. The cheese tastes horrible. Velveeta is worth the price. If I could give 0 stars, I would have.

Surprisingly good
Much better flavor than Cracker Barrel and the Kraft deluxe creamy versions. Doesn't have that plastic like taste! And it costs like a third of the price.

THE BEST!
tried these for the first time and i fell IN LOVE. i was a die hard velveeta lover before but now this target brand mac and cheese will be my go-to for now. the cheese is creamy and thick and so delicious. the cheese is not too salty unlike velveetas.
