Big Daddy Mac & Cheese

View the Recipe

Cheese powder mix that closely replicates original boxed mac & cheese flavor. Customers said "tastes like the good old kraft" and praised its versatility on popcorn, vegetables, and pasta. However, some noted the powder tends to clump when mixing, requires more product than expected for desired flavor intensity, and is pricey for the quantity.

  • After years of searching for an acceptable alternative to the old Kraft cheese powder, I found it!
  • Cheese flavor is insane while staying true to that buttery creamy goodness. Just buy it!
  • Lasted two months for a family of four! I love this stuff. I add it to meats, veg, pasta, etc.

Exact replacement for Kraft

I was looking for a way to make Mac and cheese still taste the same for my kid, but use my own noodles. This delivered perfectly. My kid - who can tell the difference in taste between the microwave Kraft Mac & cheese and the stovetop Kraft Mac & cheese, approves of this cheese mix. The taste is perfect. I’m sure you can use it for lots of other dishes, but I really just wanted to make mac & cheese.I read a lot of reviews before purchasing, and I think the people who complain about grittiness just aren’t mixing it enough. The instructions clearly say to mix the power with your milk/butter, and then add that to your drained noodles. It mixes easily for me - but I also use a mini-frother to easily mix it into the liquid.

Just like Kraft mac and cheese.

This is really good! Now I can make gluten free stovetop Mac and cheese with any macaroni that I want to. Today’s choice was Goodles high protein/fiber loopy macaroni.You have to prepare your cheese sauce separately and it thickens up. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying it came out thin but I think as long as you stir it well and heat it separately and stir well, it was pretty thick.The salty isn’t too bad either. Planning on using this to make a cheesy spice mix for potatoes too.

Big Daddy Mac! Delicious Mac and cheese- fast!

So yummy and easy! My favorite way to make Mac and cheese! A while back, Kr*** came out with the Mac and cheese powder you could sprinkle on whatever and I loved it. Well then I couldn’t find it in the store so I started looking online and found this brand. Read the reviews and they seemed pretty good so I decided to try it. This is my second jar…. It’s good! Simple, cook whatever noodles you want, drain, add a bit of milk and butter then some of the Big Daddy Mac!

Good with adjustments!!

This is really good! More potent than I expected. I will adjust the amounts for our liking, I think I need to switch the milk vs powder portions. 1/4 cup of the powder to 1/3 cup of milk. I made it as called for and I had to add extra milk because it was sooooo strong. With a couple adjustments I will be a happy Mac and cheese maker again. That brand that starts with a K tastes watered down these days. So I am happy I found this for those times I want the old comfort boxed Mac and cheese from days past

Great, but a little pricey!

This is great to have on hand to make mac n' cheese with any noodles, that I know my kids will eat. It tastes better than Kraft. I only wish that they could make an "orange version" with natural dyes, or that their dye free option wasn't more expensive. I feel like this is a little pricey, which is why I can't give it 5 stars, but other than that it's a great product!

Packaging

I haven’t weighed the product but just by looking at it it looks like it should be filled up at least an inch more. Just looks like some is missing ie not getting your moneys worth. Bought as a gift so I haven’t tried might update once I get a review of flavor.

Good product but…

This is my 2nd time purchasing the Mac & cheese powder.. my kids like it and it’s much more affordable to keep this on hand. But the container arrived like this- not even close to the top filled. ? I do not remember it this low the first time I ordered. Plus it’s still sealed so you can see this is how it arrived. Frustrating and concerned.. maybe I’ll go back to the previous brand I used.. this doesn’t seem right or fair..?

YUMMY

HEAVENLY so I love the Kraft Mac mix but I don’t like wasting the rest so I just eat this and my family knows it so I got one just for myself for Christmas and it was AMAZING the orange color and the flavor, now im someone who likes the clumps but if you don’t want the clumps use dry spoons when mixing it.

This is what you want

Tastes like the blue box but way better and you can use way more of it. I use it with garlic butter and sour cream instead of milk and it always turns out amazing. Neon orange like you want it to be and yep it's basically just whey protein like you want it to be. Kind of pricey but I'd still say totally worth it.

The Mac Daddy

Hoosier Hill Farm Big Daddy Mac Mix does not come to play, it comes to commit. One scoop and suddenly your mac and cheese has the confidence of a dish that knows it puts Kraft to shame. Creamy, cheesy, and unapologetically rich, it turned a simple bowl of pasta into something that demanded silence at the table.

Great Taste and Easy to Customize

I love this cheese mix. I used it for macaroni and cheese as well as adding some red pepper and used it for a cheese dip. I will definitely be buying this again.

tastes pretty close to the mac and cheese powder. I even bought my own elbow noodles and made even cheaper but still tasty mac and cheese.

Just Like the Old Kraft Cheese Powder

After years of searching for an acceptable alternative to the old Kraft cheese powder, I found it with this! It doesn’t turn the macaroni a neon orange and the taste is excellent.
