To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat this mac and cheese in a conventional oven or a microwave. For oven heating, transfer the contents to an oven-safe dish and bake until hot and bubbly, usually around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In the microwave, heat on high power, stirring halfway through, until thoroughly warmed. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the pasta mushy and the sauce watery. It is best served immediately after heating.
How it differs from similar foods
