Stouffer's Simple Dishes Macaroni And Cheese In 100% Real Cheddar Cheese Sauce

Stouffer's Simple Dishes Macaroni And Cheese in 100% Real Cheddar Cheese Sauce is a single-serve frozen entrée you’ll spot in the frozen meals aisle alongside other microwaveable comfort foods — think frozen dinners, pot pies, and family mac & cheese trays. Packaged for quick convenience in a branded box with a microwavable tray, it appeals to shoppers hunting for fast weeknight solutions, college students stocking dorm freezers, or parents grabbing an easy side for busy evenings. The brand leans on Stouffer’s heritage as a legacy comfort-food maker, positioning this product as familiar, reliable, and slightly elevated with the “100% real cheddar” claim and the Simple Dishes sub-brand that suggests fewer or recognizable ingredients. Label characteristics include a prominent real-cheese callout and homey imagery; there are no organic or non-GMO badges and marketing skews toward practicality rather than health positioning. In plain terms, this is a processed frozen meal: cooked pasta coated in a manufactured cheddar sauce with stabilizers, flavors, and preservatives to ensure shelf stability and consistent texture. Sensory notes: warm, creamy cheddar sauce coating soft, tender elbows; a slightly buttery, savory flavor with a smooth, saucy mouthfeel and subtle chew from semolina pasta. Rituals around it are pragmatic — microwave for a few minutes, let rest, then eat directly from the tray or plate it for a quick family meal. It fits into American grocery culture as an easy, comforting staple for moments when convenience and familiar flavor trump scratch cooking.
