Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese amplifies the ooey, gooey cheesy goodness

While macaroni and cheese is a favorite comfort food, not all recipes are created equal. With the new Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese, it is time to boil up a gooey great dish that could rival grandma’s secret recipe.

Everyone knows that the key to a great macaroni and cheese is the sauce. While people can debate elbow versus shell pasta, that ingredient is just a vehicle for what everyone craves, a creamy, cheesy sauce.

Stouffer’s frozen mac and cheese has been a staple in many households.  Whether it is enjoyed as a side dish or a meal, people trust that brand. In a few minutes, the cooked from frozen container hits the table and the fork delivers a great bite.

But, some people prefer more control. Whether it is portion size or feeling like they “made” dinner, a boxed macaroni and cheese is their preference. Now, Stouffer’s has stepped out of the freezer and entered the pantry with Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese.

Available in two flavors, Cheddar Cheese and Three Cheese, these easy pasta meals are different from other boxed varieties on the shelf. As Megan McLaughlin, Senior Brand Manager for Stouffer’s said, “Americans love their mac and cheese, and so do we! We saw an opportunity to expand beyond our fan-favorite frozen options by introducing Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese to provide a more cheese forward flavor experience than what’s currently available in the aisle. We can’t wait for shoppers to try this new product and taste the ‘supreme’ difference.”

While the viscosity of the sauce adds to the overall eating enjoyment, it amplifies the cheese factor. Similar to the craveable cheese pull of a grilled cheese, people want that gooey factor. A reconstituted powder does not get that same consistency.

Although the Cheddar Cheese is the more common flavor, the Three Cheese option captures that “supreme cheese” concept. It is tangy, sharp, and balanced. When sprinkled with some cracked pepper, it almost feels like a more elevated pasta dish.

Additionally, the Three Cheese is delicious as the foundation for additional ingredients. For example, some grilled chicken and broccoli make for a complete meal. Even some mushrooms or peas would be equally as tasty. For people who want to increase their veggies, this dish might be an easy choice.

For a more classic dish, the Cheddar Cheese with some hot dog pieces or bacon bits makes for a succulent meal. Sometimes rediscovering how good a favorite meal can make people appreciate it more.

Overall, the Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese gives people what they want. It is a value priced box of convenience balanced with the flavor people crave. It might be time to give this brand prime space on that pantry shelf.

The Stouffer’s Supreme Shells and Cheese is available at Amazon as well as select retailers. The suggested retail price is $3.99 a box.
