Guests are saying
The Ultimate Five Cheese Mac and Cheese offers a unique flavor profile that many guests appreciate, especially those who enjoy a rich cheese experience. However, the portion size has raised concerns, as it is significantly smaller than the original version. While some guests find the taste delightful and reminiscent of gourmet dishes, others feel the balance of cheese to pasta is off, leading to mixed feelings about its value. Overall, it presents an interesting option for cheese lovers, but guests may want to consider their appetite before purchasing.

same price but 1//3 less product than the regular version
While this does taste better than the regular Stouffer's mac and cheese, it's not worth it because it contains 1/3 less product! I'd rather just add some other cheeses to the regular Mac and Cheese. After all, that's all they did here.

Poor quality, half full
I bought four of the ultimate Mac and cheese and each one was only half full.

Real Cheese Flavor
I baked this in the oven at 375F instead of 350F and everyone loved it! Even the elders who have been eating the older version for more years than they care to admit. It cooked a lot faster and browned better than the old version-just 30 minutes compared to almost an hour for the standard. I was super surprised to see these low reviews as this is a big upgrade from the standard version. I purchased this after I notice a drop in the cheese flavor in the old version. The old version started to taste a bit watered down so, I gave it a try and was very happy! I would say this variety is for people who purchase cheese cut from an actual wheel.

Nasty taste
Fan of Stouffer’s old school Mac & cheese so when I saw this variety, I thought yay, more of a good thing. What’s not to like about even more cheese & 5 different kinds of cheese at that. Was I ever wrong. This stuff is nasty.Weird sour taste. As one reviewer said, tasted & smelled like vomit. Need I say more?

This is Disgusting
I love cheese and have loved Stouffer's macaroni and cheese for as long as I can remember. But this stuff, it's God-awful. The sauce is just disgusting and there's very little macaroni. If you look at the picture on the box, it shows a bowl with a heaping amount of product. Whoever took that photo must have gotten the bowl from their hamster's cage as you get a very small portion. In my opinion, this was a fail; I would not buy it again.

Is this only for meat eaters?
A family friend came over and they could not have Mac and cheese for dinner because it wasn't VEGAN! It was Thanksgiving and we had to run to the store and get some vegan Mac and cheese!

Smells terrible, just like my father’s feet, and tastes awful too. This product should not be bought and needs to be discontinued

Nowhere close to original Stouffer's macaroni and cheese flavor
I love the idea of experimenting with several cheese flavors. However, I can honestly say that the 5-cheese flavor of this macaroni and cheese is just awful. Picture sour-tasting cheese so overwhelming that it makes you want to hold your nose while you eat it. Absolutely wouldn’t buy again. Stouffer’s has never failed me until just now.

Cheese soup with a few noodles
Though the box is the same size as the regular Mac n cheese for one, this version is actually only 8oz compared to the latter’s 20oz. So it’s only about 4 bites of food. There’s a lot more sauce than there are noodles. Not worth the price for only a few bites. I’ll stick with the regular Mac n cheese single portion.

5-cheese Mac n cheese
Love this new 5-cheese Mac n cheese but the 8 oz portion is too small. Not much product inside.

Disgusting
This is AWFUL. Microwaved according to the directions, most of the cheese fuses into one large, burned clump. The sauce is very rich and there are not very many noodles. The regular kind of stouffers mac has 2-3 times the amount of noodles in the container. This was definitely not worth the money, and although I was not happy with the tiny portion at first, I was glad after a few minutes because it was less waste, as I could not finish it. 🤮

Flavor=perfect. Size=not so much.
This rivals the flavor of five cheese pasta at a NY Italian restaurant, so please stop complaining that it doesn't taste like their traditional Mac and Cheese, you're embarrassing yourself. Un perfetto. HOWEVER, it's 8 oz yet comes in the same size box as their other 12 oz Mac and Cheese. Not cool, Stouffers.

Disappointing
Very disappointed how small the portion is. It didn't even fill half the tray. The taste was very cheddar strong, which wasnt terrible, but hard to enjoy. Just glad this isn't replacing the original.

GREAT FOR LOVERS OF SHARP CHEESES
I'm a big fan of piquant well aged cheeses and Stouffer's Ultimate Five Cheese includes some very tasty cheeses. You can even taste a hint of the crystals that form in properly aged cheese. This is probably not one for the kiddies, but I will continue to enjoy it as my favorite Stouffer's Mac n Cheese.

Disappointed in final product
I chose this one because I usually get the smaller size box/bowl of macaroni and cheese. This is what the store had. I will never get it again. There was barely enough to cover the bottom of the dish. The same size but regular version gives a full bowl full of creamy macaroni and cheese. This is lumpy and just not appealing to look at let alone taste. It's cheesy but not what I would expect for a Ultimate 5 cheese product. If you are advertising it that way, at least make it half as better then it is now.

Avoid this version and stick to the original recipe
I love cheese and have had dozens of different kinds in my lifetime, so I was excited to try the 5-cheese blend of Stouffer's mac and cheese. Unfortunately, I found this version to be excessively pungent, sour, and with a bitter aftertaste. It sounds silly to also criticize the quantity of something that one does not want to eat anyway, but upon opening the package I was immediately disappointed that the serving is just a thin layer of pasta and sauce, no thicker than the size of the macaroni itself. It fills less than 1/3 of the tray. I will stay faithful to Stouffer's regular mac and cheese but would never buy the 5-cheese blend again.
