The sauce looked kind of weird after microwaving and doesn't taste amazing. You're better off getting Stouffer's if you want some actual comfort food level mac and cheese. If you want Lean Cuisine still,their white cheddar protein kick macaroni is really good.
Watery, disgusting mess.

This was unedible. I used to love this and the non lean version. It is horrible . Takes like glue. No cheese flavour, very watery and soupy. :(
Healthy, yes! Good tasting, no!

I really tried because I was hungry but overall couldn’t finish it. As cheap as it is, it’s still not worth it. Does not taste good.

I've liked this mac and cheese for decades! And it's so hard to find one at this calorie level....unless it's a mac cup. But the mac and cheese cups have so much less food in them! This is much more filling.
Yuck

WORST frozen macaroni and cheese I have ever eaten

This is, bar none, the WORST frozen macaroni and cheese I have ever eaten. I prepared it according to package directions. The sauce appeared oddly grainly when stirred. The first bite seemed unbearably salty, followed by a strange sour flavor that turned to bitterness. Every bite had that bitter aftertaste, making me wonder what they put in it to make it that way. When I saw that it contained "potassium salt", I remembered having tried a salt substitute years ago that had that same bitter taste.
Nooo

SO DISGUSTING. I feel traumatized. So gluey and artificial and it smells so bad . Definitely not comforting. I need something to comfort me as a result of this. What a nightmare I liked the Vermont one but now I'm too scared to eat that. Never volume eating Mac n cheese again

Actually would rate it 1 star but after seasoning it, it tasted a lot better. I added a splash of milk, shredded cheese, salt, pepper and sriracha. Not sure if I'd buy it again though.

I've been eating this meal for years. It's not homemade, nor is it the macaroni and cheese you get at a restaurant, but it does the job - fills me up, satisfies my need for carbs and cheese without being overindulgent. What more can you want? I'd definitely rather have this than zoodles or some other sad pasta substitute. At least this is real pasta!
Not worth it

It tastes like what glue smells like. Many of the Lean Cusine are very tasty however this one is terrible. I had it in the past but now it is very different.

Some of the Lean Cuisine are very good. The Macaroni & Cheese one however tastes like glue smells. It use to be very good but now it tastes artificial.

I loved these ever since I was a kid, I honestly used to eat them because it was quick and easy, and they were my favorite forever. When the vermont white cheddar came out, I tried it since that was all I could find for a while, not my favorite at all. So grainy and weird taste. Today, I ate the regular cheddar one with the new recipe and I'm so sick. It has a funky oily cheddar taste and is not sitting well with my stomach at all. So sad, I used to love these.
New creamy recipe-so disappointing.

I have always enjoyed YEARS LC Macaroni and cheese,until I recently purchased one and I was so disappointed in the taste and sauce texture. Honestly, it was like eating "macaroni and cheese soup," if there is such a thing! Please return to the original recipe. I will then reconsider purchasing.

Lean Cuisine, I am sad! The classic macaroni and cheese was my go-to meal until the few recipe arrived. It tastes grainy and not like real cheese, a departure from the previous creamy, comforting sauce. Please bring back the old macaroni!!! :(
