How Long Is Mac And Cheese Good For Box

I worked in a grocery store in 2003 and we were having a sale on hamburger helper products and there was a coupon out at the same time that made the item free when used together. My buddy worked in the cashiers office and grabbed all the coupons he could find and we reused them and stocked up on about 150 boxes. I still have maybe 15 left. I ate one back in January w/ some deer meat and it was fine. They were never stored anywhere special. Just kept them in the cubbord.

I never thought about stocking up back then. We were just poor college students that knew a deal when we saw one.

I would think the determining factor here would be the type of cheese in the package. Some of the newer ones use a foil pouch of squeezable cheese. Others use packets of cheese powder. If kept in a dry environment, as previously mentioned, I think these would last longer than the ones with the squeezable cheese.

We have Hamburger Helper meals that are over three years old. We eat them regularly without any ill effects. The same for mac and cheese.

Ours have the powdered cheese in them, though, not the squeezable stuff. I would also think temperature control would affect longevity, obviously. I cannot see the squeezable cheese packets tolerating high temperatures well.

Easy Mac And Cheese

I've seen what happens to MRE cheese at high temps. It ain't pretty. I have some of the dry cheese powder left over from 3 or 4 years ago and possably more. It generally works best to mix it up with some milk or water and get it turned into a liquid before putting it on the macaroni but I do this with brand new dry cheese mixes as well. The macaroni was taken out of the box and put into canning jars and kept in a cool and dark place. The macaroni is fine and to some extent it might need a bit more cook time but it is not different than freshly bought pasta. I can't decide what I think about the liquid cheese in some of the mac and cheese stuff.

How Old Is Mac And Cheese

Yes if it is still dry in the box mix that stuff is good way after the expiration date can goods and dry mixes and noodles stay good for along time just make sure can goods aren't swollen or rusted.Enjoy your mac and cheese!

I like it and buy it now and then but I don't really want to get into trying to store it for some reason. These days I buy the big bags of pasta and a velveeta cheese block and save money in most cases compared to buying the mac and cheese boxes.

Baked Mac And Cheese

If you do some looking around you can find different versions of cheese to try out and see what works best for you. I found some powdered cheese at one point locally but it is no longer carried by that store anymore and I need to just run some searches on the net most likely. I buy the Velveeta shells and cheese by the 5 pack box at Sam's. I've been doing this for some time now as i eat them fairly regularly and never buy the 'old school' powdered cheese ones as i never have milk on hand (don't drink it). I cleaned up my one cupboard a few months ago and found a walmart brand box of generic shells and cheese (squeezable foil pack of velveeta like substance). The expiration date was 07 iirc, anyway, it was fine, but the cheese stuff had started to separate; probably should have kneeded it first.
