Folks, that is what I am having for lunch today. Only Canadians or Canadian-adjacent people know the comparative glory of this particular no-name-brand boxed mac and cheese. If Kraft Dinner ain’t your thing, this is not an alternative to take lightly.
I order it from Canada by the case.
Yes, seriously.
And no, before you ask, the President’s Choice imprimateur shouldn’t be Prime Minister, because it’s the president of the grocery company they’re referring to. This is the Loblaws (and other grocery chains) store brand.
I clicked the link fully intending to argue that you got it wrong and that PC White Cheddar was the best. Clearly, you got it right.
Except PC is Superstore/Loblaws and not Sobey’s.
I read that as “Progressive Conservative White Cheddar.”
Erin, I read your comment and my first reaction was “that’s what I said, isn’t it?” I evidently can’t brain today. Changing Sobeys to Loblaws.
Hmmmm. USian here, and I’ve obviously been cheated of the good stuff. In fact, I made some Kraft (the premium kind) yesterday, and found it wanting as I always do. But I don’t have a good recipe for homemade, either.
In fact, the best cheesy pasta I’ve had recently has been my own concoction with Italian cheeses. I cook the pasta, then toss it with a little good olive oil and a lot of really good shredded Italian cheese like a mix of parmesan and romano. I use an electric stove, so I do this in the cooking pot over the warm but turned-off burner until the cheese melts. Not to-die-for, but a very nice pasta dish.
Kraft recently changed their recipe for Kraft Dinner, which destroyed the only real reason to eat it these days: nostalgia.
Ooh gimmie! I’d love to try that. I recently posted about how to make mac and cheese while camping/backpacking with a small pot/stove and no cooler – I’d love to try this stuff that way if it’s as good as you say!

I do not understand boxed mac n cheese.
I learned about mac n cheese, made it, love it, but I do not understand that box thingy.
On the other hand, I grew up in a home where a particular kind of boxed spaghetti with tomato sauce was a special treat….
This is one of the reasons that my family shops at Superstore.
I will be bringing back as many boxes as possible. Alas, there is a weight allowance – but then, it’s not like I need any of my other stuff.
