Dr. Gourmet's Food Reviews

Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Macaroni and Cheese

This is pretty good and rates three forks. The flavor is slightly bland but overall this rates slightly better than the 365 Whole Foods and at 300 calories with 7 grams of fat would make a reasonable lunch in a pinch. There's a fair amount of sodium but this doesn't affect the flavor. There's good body to the pasta with some chew to it.

It's amazing because tasters clearly liked this much better than the original Stouffer's Macaroni & Cheese.
