Surprisingly, it has a whopping 1,160mg of sodium, which is considered about 50% of your daily value of salt. What flavor it has undoubtedly comes from the salt content. While it has fewer grams of protein, the flavor is a little better overall. Like the Lean Cuisine before it, the Banquet mac and cheese comes in a 10-ounce portion, and only sets you back 300 calories. We'd rather have a box of Kraft mac and cheese. If it was what was on the table, we'd eat it, but that's about as exciting as it gets. The Banquet mac and cheese lacks the creamy lushness of a more luxurious tasting mac and cheese, and the cheese flavor itself is watered down.

This has 480 calories (210 from fat), which isn’t as high as some of their other dishes, but it’s a bit high for dieters.

It’s strange that Devour sort of downplays the presence of the chicken in their marketing materials because this white meat is fantastic.ĭevour might be known for flavor, but they’re certainly not known for being diet-friendly. This stuff is juicy and surprisingly rich for a white meat. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese cook and stir 5 min. Gradually stir in milk cook on medium heat until mixture comes to boil, stirring constantly.

Too many frozen meals that add bacon will use a finely ground variation that hardens and tastes a bit like Beggin’ Strips (yes, we’ve tasted Beggin’ Strips - these are the lengths we’re willing to go to for our reviews!) The bacon here comes in bigger chunks, and they taste like real bacon (rather than bacon-flavored dog treats). To clarify, this sauce is delicious - there’s just not as much of it here as we expected. Plus, the tight spiral shape of the pasta traps the sauce, infusing every bite with loads of garlic flavor. Of course, as a garlic sauce, this stuff is quite potent, so you really don’t need more of it - there’s plenty of flavor to go around.
This macaroni certainly isn’t drenched in the stuff. It’s more of a sticky sauce, we’d say, though this is likely due to the fact that the sauce portion is a bit scant.

We’ve followed them for years through several hits and occasional misses.įor a bit, Devour was experimenting with dry macaroni, and the results were not great (despite their frozen mac and cheese dishes being some of the best in the business).
