The Cheesiest.,
“You got a problem, old man?” Jake took off his glasses.
The barkeep ran his forearm across his wrinkled face. “Ain’t no problem here. You boys have guts, is all, wearin’ those Kraft logos around these parts. This is a Stouffer’s county.”
Jake stood up, sliding his stool back across the hardwood floor. “If I wanted to choke down frozen food, I’d move my ass to Alaska. I’ll take The Cheesiest any day.” We used to call him Jake the Patriot. Always looking for a fight. I grabbed his arm in a vain attempt to pacify him. Looking around the room, I saw we were vastly outnumbered.
“Choose your next words carefully, son. Don’t look like you’re makin’ many friends here.” The bar patrons began edging closer to us. There was a wild look in their eyes; the kind that only came from malnutrition. I felt a moment of pity for them. Who could deny the inherent benefits of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese?
Jake discreetly slipped brass knuckles on underneath the counter. “You heard me.” He turned, addressing the whole room. “Stouffer’s is garbage.” The patrons exploded. Frozen bricks of macaroni were tossed at us. We fought off near twenty men, leaving each one with regret. Jake turned back to the barkeep, spitting blood onto the floor. “That, old man, is why Kraft will always win.”
As we walked out, stepping over the injured men on the ground, the old man called after us. “You boys forgot one thing.” He walked to the back-room door. “Mastodons love Stouffer’s.” He flung open the door and dove under the bar. A giant mastodon crashed through the frame, charging directly at us. I luckily threw myself out of the way. Jake, the poor kid, was not so fortunate. I watched in horror as the giant animal gored him with its tusks. It dropped Jake, looked around, and walked out as quickly as it came. I ran over to Jake’s body, crying out. He looked up at me, his life slowly slipping away.
“Keep up the good fight, buddy. Never forget what Stouffer’s has done to me. Tell the world.” He was gone. Since that day, a rage has been building inside me. This injustice cannot be forgiven.
I call upon all of you to eat the delicious Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in memory of Jake. Tell your friends. As you’re stirring The Cheesiest cheese into boiled macaroni, just think. One day, we will be able to live without fear of the Stouffer’s Mastodon.

|A classic and always in my pantry,
I was raised traveling all over with a military family. I think every U.S. commissary has these familiar blue boxes on their shelves. Since my parents were always busy, it frequently fell on me to make dinner for my siblings and me. 2 boxes of this, a can of green beans and 2 cans of tuna wasn’t at all uncommon. It’s the wonder meal base. You barely need to know how to turn on the stove to make at least an edible meal with this and if you don’t have butter or milk, it works just fine with water.
My wife grew up with a mother who cooked dinner every single night. For her, the blue box was a forbidden treat. She would go to her best friend’s house for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and Dinty Moore Beef Stew. He would go to her house for her mother’s home cooking.
So it’s there, on our shelves. For me, it’s a last resort meal for when neither of us feel like cooking. Still as easy, as convenient and as cheesy. For her, it’s still a guilty treat. Something she wants to eat when nobody is looking. She will also use the noodles out of a box for another recipe and put the cheese packet up for use on popcorn. That’s not something I ever tried before meeting her.
That’s the best way to eat it. The noodles in a homemade chicken soup. They cook to al dente in about 7 minutes, so add them at the end. The cheese packet, sprinkled over popcorn that’s shared with the person you love while watching action films.

|Even better with a tweaked recipe!,
1) First, combine the dry macaroni noodles and 2 cups of milk in a medium pot.
2) Place a lid on top to help hold in moisture and heat. Bring the pot up to a boil over medium/high heat, stirring every minute or so. Don’t turn the heat all the way up because milk can be delicate and may scorch or boil over very fast.
3) As soon as the milk reaches just to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the noodles are soft and have absorbed most of the milk (about 6-8 minutes). It is VERY important to stir often and replace the lid as soon as possible after doing so.
4) Once your timer goes off, add half a stick of softened butter, mix until melted completely, then add the packet of powdered cheese and mix thoroughly. If you are feeling extra adventurous add a little bit of shredded cheddar!
5) SERVE!
This creates a dish that tastes nothing like a typical box of instant Kraft Mac and Cheese. If you’d like you can even add some seasoning, I typically just keep it plain. It also keeps you from having to strain the pasta so it saves a step!
I hope this helps!
