I would actually pay for all the ingredients, maybe more, and I'm absolutely serious. I would love to see the chaos that it would create, and you and your team's reactions to the whole process of making it and eating it. Like maybe trying it as you mix things together, and then the penultimate taste once everything is together. I know you see this, Babish, I see the heart on the OP's post. 😝

[@Mystress1980]

See, where he went wrong was he followed the cooking directions on the box. NO ONE makes it like it says to on the box lol You get that soupy, horrible mess if you do. You measure the butter with your heart, and just enough milk to make it creamy, then stop. Never follow the KD directions. Never.

Crakcer Barrel boxed mac and cheese is actually a different brand than the restaurant. They have no affiliation

[@fordhouse8b]

Clearly it is the same brand. Perhaps you meant it was made by a completely different corporation that has licensed the brand name? Kind of like how Sara Lee cake mixes are no longer made by Sara Lee, since they sold that division some years ago. Now Sara Lee only (or mainly?) produces meat products, like the Hillshire Farms, and Black Oak brands.

I suspect the reason the Guinness was so sour was, if you look at the box, it's "made with cabot". Cabot is a brand out of Vermont that has some really sharp varieties. They probably doubled up on the citric acid to try and achieve the super sharp flavor.

My new favorite boxed mac and cheese is actually the kraft southern style. I like how the sauce doesn’t just congeal and disappear, it’s a much higher quality sauce and you don’t always need to have milk or butter on hand to make. Nothing beats my homemade roux style, but the kraft southern style hits the spot for me with some steak or chicken and some broccoli after a long day

33:20 fair point

So most Canadians that I know (myself included) don't follow the directions for the cheese sauce. I put one and a half tablespoons of butter in first, under the noodles, then dump in your cheese powder, and only a tablespoon of milk into it and then mix it all together. It makes the sauce thicker and is a little more cheesy tasting.

[@DE_Jet]

I never followed the directions, I would always wing it, no batch was the same lol.

[@EmilyJelassi]

Definitely should've tried them altogether! I respect your decision for the Daiya mac and cheese, but as someone who's lactose and gluten-intolerant, it's honestly better than the other stuff that's out there. Homemade is the best form of mac and chees, of course. Annie's truly does have an incredibly huge line of mac and cheese, and I think their line of snacks is even bigger!

As someone who grew up on the squeeze cheese blue box I don't understand the hate for it.

[@Leedy818]

Right, this video has me questioning my existence. Growing up and even still I don't like any of the powdered cheese ones. Velveeta was always a favorite.

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

@@Leedy818 Same. The one time my dad came home from the store with the powdered Kraft (because it was on sale), mom sent him back to get the Kraft Deluxe. Or even better still, the Velveeta branded ones. Either way, it was better than the powdered ones every time.

[@reachcole514]

Squeeze cheese tastes bad to people who didn't eat it as a child

[@DigitalinDaniel]

My favorite box mac is Kraft Deluxe White Cheddar Garlic & Herb... I don't add anything though, just drain the water add the seasoning and stir... then add the cheese and stir. Best to stir the seasoning in before the cheese so it doesn't clump like crazy.

Thank you for this important research

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

I honestly love these bonus videos, it's a nice change from the normal videos

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Awesome! Please cookie dough next! 🍪🍪🍪🍪

[@ulyssemthn9220]

never had mac and cheese in my life but i've never been that concentrated about a video of ranking food

[@kittenwithpancake4374]

Honestly, the white cheddar kitties and bunnies annies is my favorite its just like the white cheddar but cute shapes that undercooking makes them really satisfyingly aldente for boxed mac and cheese

[@stax6092]

I really hope you do all the pop-tarts.

[@andrewbourn1513]

HEB showing up as always. I was prouder of that 7 than I should have been.

[@noelanorga2333]

Me too 😅

[@connorseidel7197]

When Canada's KD came on screen, all I could hear was the South Park Canadians saying "Kraft Dinnah!" I don't know why but it just makes me giggle.

[@prairiemutt4591]

Yea I’ve had that Organic Peace Pasta and it’s AMAZING

[@CIoneOutcast]

The KD slander hurts my Canadian heart

[@maplemeep]

Try 3 cheese

[@jenperry427]

i have to agree with him on the KD. I do like the Sharp one, but only with hot sauce and ground beef if I get ambitious enough.

[@sofus47]

KD needs Steph to win

[@Kolateak_]

The taste of modern KD hurts my Canadian heart

[@Catz1a]

The taste has changed around quite a bit to where you kinda have to make your own formula to get it how you personally like I feel

[@KitCat898]

H‑E‑B got a 7, LETS GOOOOO

[@Noah-pg3xt]

Annies peace pasta has always been my favorite since I was a kid. Glad I'm not the only one

[@redskins59rocs]

I dont see Walmarts artisan crafted boxes, they are the goat.

[@Its_Rainy_]

IMO, white cheddar shells is the best genre of mac and cheese. My favorite is Pasta-Roni White Cheddar and Shells, which I believe to be a direct upgrade to the Annies version.

[@THE-X-Force]

I agree .. Pasta-Roni definitely is the best!

[@kierstyn700]

I agree

[@sammol3239]

Agreed!!

[@WIldMage1837]

I was SO excited to see you try HEB brand!!!!! I live by HEB branded items, would love to see them more where possible in the rating series!

[@neganick]

I don't know why I needed this, but i did!

[@derekfurst6233]

Given that white cheddar shells ran the table here, it's a literal crime there were no pasta roni shells and cheese

[@Anaconda_Jesus]

My favorite boxed Mac being your third is very reassuring, thank you.
