Best Gluten Free Boxed Mac and Cheese
If you miss that famous blue box of mac and cheese, this list of the best gluten free boxed mac and cheese is for you.  After trying the Aldi gluten free boxed mac and cheese I realized that gluten free mac and cheese has come a long way since I started eating gluten free back in 2009. I decided my husband and I would try a bunch of different boxed gluten-free mac and cheeses to see which brand is the best gluten-free boxed mac and cheese. We tried ones with rice based pasta, corn based pasta, and chick pea pasta. We tried the regular gluten free mac and cheese with the powdered cheese and we tried the deluxe mac and cheese with the creamy cheese sauce. My daughter even tried severel kinds of gluten free vegan mac and cheese so that we could have that on the list as well. We tried name brand versions life Kraft and Annie’s and we tried in store brands like Walmart and ALDI. This really is a list of the best gluten free mac and cheese that we have tried. There are a few brands that I could not find at stores in my area, so I hope to order them online and I will share our thoughts when I do.  The Best Gluten Free Boxed Mac and CheeseWe are rating them on both taste and texture with a rating of one through five. Five being the best and one being the worst. I made all the deluxe mac and cheese’s as directed on the package. For the other mac and cheese boxes with powdered cheese, I made them as directed, except I added an extra tablespoon of butter. I have done this for years. Long before I went gluten free I realized that an additional tablespoon of butter made the powdered cheese so much better. To keep this taste test accurate, I added an extra tablespoon of butter to all the mac and cheese with powdered cheese. I listed the price of each package of gluten free mac and cheese. This is the price I paid in Oklahoma. The price may vary where you live, but I wanted to list it to give you an idea of how much each pacakged cost. We gave each a rating between 1 and 5, with 1 being terrible and 5 being great. Banza Deluxe Cheddar Mac and Cheese Taste: 1 We thought the taste of this was terrible. It had an odd aftertaste and had a strong chickpea flavor. Texture: 1 We did not like the texture on this. It had a tough texture, and even though I cooked it as directed, it had an uncooked chickpea texture. Price: $4.29  Final Verdict: Both my husband and I thought the Banze Deluxe Gluten Free Mac and Cheese was awful. My words after tasting it were that it was disgusting. We did not like the taste or texture of it. In fact, we threw it in the trash. I know some people love this one, but it is not one that we would recommend. Great Value Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Taste: 2 We did not like this one. It was better then the Banza, but we still didn’t love it. When I was growing up my mom rarely bought boxed mac and cheese. When she did it, it was not Kraft brand, it was the in-store generic brand, usually Western Family. We did not like it. My friend’s mom bought Kraft and I could tell a big difference. The Great Value Gluten Free Mac and Cheese reminded me of Western Family brand mac and cheese. The cheese just tasted off. Texture: 3 The texture of the Great Value Gluten Free Mac and Cheese was not bad, but also not great. I thought it was a bit mushy. Price:$2.32  Final Verdict: I would not recommend this one. There are better ones out there. The price of it is really good, so it might be fine for kids, but I recommend skipping this one. Annie’s Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Taste: 4 We like the taste of Annie’s. It has a good flavor. We thought it was similar to regular mac and cheese in flavor. Texture: 3.5 We thought the texture on this was good, but not great. I cooked this longer than the box said to, and it was still a bit firm. So my only complaint with Annie’s was that I didn’t love the texture of it. Price: $4.29  Final Verdict: We thought this one was fine. We liked other brands better, but if this was the only one that I could find, I would buy it. I think kids would be perfectly happy with Annie’s Gluten Free Mac and Cheese. Kraft Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Taste: 4 The taste of the cheese was very similar to the classic, regular Mac and Cheese that I remember eating before going gluten free. My husband agreed that it was very similar, although he thought it wasn’t quite as salty as the regular version. Texture: 4 The noodles had a decent texture for gluten-free pasta. It definitely wasn’t the same as regular pasta. I thought the pasta was a bit firmer than some gluten-free pasta. Overall, I thought it was decent, and I would buy it again. Price: $2.88  Final Verdict: We liked Kraft Gluten-Free Mac and Cheese. I have read some reviews of this one, and some people don’t like it. I think it is very close to the classic regular version. My small town Walmart almost always has this in stock, so I would definitely buy it again, especially since it is under $3 per box. ALDI Cheese Club Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Aldi Gluten Free Mac and Cheese comes in white cheedar and regular cheddar.  Taste: 4.5 The ALDI Gluten Free Mac and Cheese is the gluten free mac and cheese that started this quest to find the best gluten free box of mac and cheese. We tried both the white cheddar and regular cheddar and thought the taste was great. I don’t usually like chickpea pasta, but I thought this one tasted great. Texture: 4.5 We thought the texture on this one was really good, too. It is gluten free pasta, so it is not the same as regular pasta, but it is good. Price: $2.99  Final Verdict: I did a full review of ALDI Gluten Free Mac and Cheese last year. At the time, it was our favorite gluten-free mac and cheese. Now I would say that it is one of our favorites. We really like that it is higher in protein than the others. I also think the price of under $3 per box is a great deal. If you live near an ALDI, this gluten-free mac and cheese is a good option. Annie’s Deluxe Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Taste: 5 The taste on this was so close to what I remember boxed mac and cheese tasting like. In fact, it may have been better than what I remember boxed mac and cheese tasting like. Texture: 5 This is a rice pasta. I usually like a corn rice blend pasta better than all pasta that is only rice based. The texture of this mac and cheese though was really good even though the pasta was all rice. Cost: $4.74  Final Verdict: My husband and I both really liked this mac and cheese. It reminded us of the Kraft Deluxe mac and cheese. The pasta was rice based, which is not my favorite type of gluten free pasta, so the texture was a little off to me. However, I did really enjoy it. Velveeta Gluten Free Mac and Cheese Taste: 5 We thought the taste of this was very close to regular Velveeta Mac and Cheese. It was delicious. Texture: 5 The pasta in Velveeta Gluten Free Mac and Cheese is corn and rice based. Gluten free pasta is never going to be quite the same as regular pasta, but we thought the texture of this was very good and close to the real thing. Price: $4.99  Final Verdict: My husband and I both loved the taste of this. My husband thought it tasted more salty than the Annies, but we both loved it. I liked the Velveeta Gluten Free Mac and Cheese a little better than the Annie’s Deluxe Gluten Free Mac and Cheese. My husband said he thought that Annie’s Deluxe Gluten Free Mac and Cheese was slightly better. However, we both gave them a five for taste and texture. In the end, we called it a tie between Annie’s Deluxe Gluten Free Mac and Cheese and Velveeta Gluten Free Mac and Cheese for the best gluten-free mac and cheese The Best Gluten Free Dairy Free Mac and Cheese Banza Vegan Gluten Free Dairy Free Mac and CheesePrice: $5.00 My daughter eats gluten-free and dairy-free. She has tried quite a few gluten free and dairy free boxed mac and cheese over the years and she said this is the best she has had. It surprised me that she like it so much, because we do not like the Banza pasta, but she likes it so much she keeps it on hand for an easy dinner. If you have a favorite gluten-free boxed macaroni and cheese, I would love to hear about it. Is there a brand I haven’t tried that I should?
