Aye, you talkin’ ’bout that Chef Boyardee mac n cheese, huh? That stuff in the can? Well, let me tell you, I’ve had my fair share of it. It ain’t fancy, but it sure is easy. When you’re hungry and don’t feel like fussin’, that’s what you grab.
What’s in That There Chef Boyardee Mac N Cheese?
Now, what’s in it? That’s what you wanna know. Well, it’s mostly pasta, you know, them little elbow noodles. And cheese sauce. Lots of it. It says on the can “enriched pasta.” I reckon that means it’s got some extra stuff in it. Vitamins and such. Then there’s the water, of course. Gotta have water to make the pasta and the sauce. And I think it says “cheese flavor.”
They put some other stuff in there too, to make it taste good, I guess. And there is milk, soy, wheat in it. It got some of them long names I can’t hardly pronounce. It has some sugar in it. Not a lot, but some. And salt. Gotta have salt. You know, you gotta read the label if you want all them details.
Is Chef Boyardee Mac N Cheese Good For You?
Now, is it good for you? Well, it ain’t like a plate of fresh greens from the garden, that’s for sure. But it fills you up. It’s got calories. I seen it on the can. Says somethin’ about 200 calories, maybe more, maybe less, depends on how much you eat. And it’s got some fat in it. But not too much. Just enough to make it taste good.
- It ain’t bad, I reckon.
- Not somethin’ you wanna eat every day, maybe.
- But once in a while, it’s alright.
- It got some sodium, that means salt.
- It sure is quick when you are in a hurry.
Some folks say it ain’t healthy. They say it’s got too much of this and not enough of that. But I say, everything in moderation. You don’t eat a whole can in one sittin’, you’ll be fine. My grandpappy used to say, “Too much of anythin’ ain’t good for ya.” And he lived to be 90, so he must’ve known somethin’.
How’s That Chef Boyardee Mac N Cheese Taste?
How’s it taste? Well, it tastes like…mac n cheese! The pasta is soft, and the sauce is creamy. It’s kinda cheesy, but not like real cheese, you know? It’s got its own flavor. I like it. It’s comfort food. Reminds me of bein’ a kid. I used to eat this stuff all the time when I was little. My mama would make it for me when she was in a hurry.
It’s good with a little pepper on top. Or hot sauce, if you like it spicy. Some folks like to put bread crumbs on it and bake it in the oven. Makes it kinda crispy on top. I ain’t never tried that, but it sounds good. I reckon you could put other stuff in it too. Like tuna fish, or hot dogs. I seen folks do that. Makes it a whole meal, I guess.
That Chef Boyardee, Who Was He?
They say there was a real Chef Boyardee. A real fella. An Italian fella, I think. He started this whole thing. Makin’ food in cans. That was back in the day, long time ago. Before my time, even. He must’ve been a smart fella, to come up with that idea. They say he chose the place where they made it. Some place called Milton, in Pennsylvania.
Now they make all kinds of stuff. Not just mac n cheese. They got ravioli, and spaghetti, and beefaroni. I tried the beefaroni once. It was alright. But I like the mac n cheese best. It’s my favorite. They say he would be proud of what they are doing. I am sure he would.
Is Chef Boyardee Mac N Cheese Worth It?
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about Chef Boyardee mac n cheese. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And it’s cheap. That’s important, you know. Especially these days, when everything costs so much. You can get a can of this stuff for a couple of bucks. That’s a good deal, I reckon. It will be a part of a balanced diet, I think.
So next time you’re at the store, and you see that can of Chef Boyardee mac n cheese, don’t be afraid to give it a try. You might like it. And if you don’t, well, it ain’t the end of the world. There’s always somethin’ else to eat. But I bet you will like it. Most folks do. It is a quick meal after all.
If you are still hungry, you can have two bowls of it. That is 180 calories a bowl. Or maybe even more. But don’t eat too much, now. You don’t want to get a bellyache. Just enough to fill you up. That’s the way to do it. It will give you a good and bad feeling I think. Anyway, that’s all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’m gonna go heat me up a can of that mac n cheese. It’s gettin’ to be lunchtime, and I’m startin’ to feel a little peckish.
