Description
"Down The Hatch gives you the toasty, cheesy, spicy, flavor of a chile popper packed into a boxed mac and cheese. It’s made with real cream cheese and Hatch chiles. GOODLES packs your mac with the good stuff you want and tons of yum!
GOODLES boxed mac and cheese began with a big idea for a very small thing: to create a nutrient-packed noodle that looks, cooks and tastes just like a delicious noodle. Every serving contains protein, fiber with prebiotics, and nutrients from plants. And it's made with real cheese (sourced from our dairy partner in the Midwest), no GMOs, no artificial colors, and no preservatives.
GOODLES mac and cheese is the first boxed mac and cheese to win the Clean Label Project Purity award. After rigorous, independent testing of our products for over 400 different contaminants including chemicals, plastics, pesticides and other toxins, Clean Label Project has determined that GOODLES mac and cheese meets their highest standard."

If you're used to the og blue box stuff, don't expect that flavor. This might be weird but I love it. Sometimes I add veggies and an extra protein to make a complete one pot meal.

Tasty, quick Mac and cheese! I love the nutrients along with the flavor, which tastes similar to a pepper jack so it has a mild kick to it. I add a little extra butter and it makes the perfect lunch.

Love this brand!
Ok these are DELICIOUS and blow Kraft Mac & Cheese out of the water. The flavor is delish with a baby kick of spice (crushed red pepper spice - not jalapeno spice) and the macros are fantastic for a lazy meal. Add in a chicken breast for even more protein and you can't even feel a baby bit guilty.

One of my favorite boxed Macs
Excellent Mac. Heat is relatively subtle but builds nicely. I often like to add spices to my boxed macs but don’t recommend altering this flavor.

Meh Mac & Cheese
The artificial flavor was a turnoff. It wasn’t creamy at all. I’ll stick with Annie’s which my kids love.

Thank your for making me feel good eating pasta
I tried this from a local store and am hooked. They ran out of this flavor so I tried another one, also tasty. I appreciate that if I'm going to eat pasta that it's high fiber and high protein before I add more things to it!

Where's the hatch?
Not the best flavor. Artificial. Not with the kick expected of hatch.

My Unexpected Favorite!
So I bought the variety pack and left the Gouda and this one for last thinking they would be my least favorite….im Dutch so fake Gouda freaks me out a bit, anyhow this flavor is so far my absolute favorite. It’s a little spicy so I don’t know if kid would be crazy about it but it was absolutely delicious. I cooked up ground turkey and added it so it was like a spicy healthy version of hamburger helper and literally it’s all I want to eat. Doesn’t feel like a belly bomb after - I feel light and energized and literally will be making it every week. Makes me feel like a kid again but as a dietitian I am glad I get some veggies in it as well. Love love love!
