Is this mac and cheese suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, the Marie Callender’s Creamy Vermont Mac & Cheese contains no meat, making it a vegetarian-friendly meal. However, always double-check the packaging if you have dietary restrictions, as ingredients sometimes change.

Can I add extra cheese or toppings before heating?

Adding extra cheese before heating is a delicious way to intensify creaminess. Toppings like cooked bacon, breadcrumbs, or herbs are best added after heating for the best texture and freshness.

How can I make my mac & cheese creamier if it thickens too much?

If the cheese sauce thickens during storage or after reheating, simply stir in a splash of milk or warm water until it reaches your preferred consistency.

What if I don’t have a microwave?

No microwave? No problem. Some bowls may have oven instructions on the packaging. You can also empty the contents into an oven-safe dish and heat in a preheated oven at 350°F until hot and bubbly. This method may take a bit longer, but the result is just as delicious.
