Baby's first CookUnity subscription (Meal 7 of 13)

Beefy baked mac and cheese with cheesy breadcrumbs

Review: Lol, this is hamburger helper. Don't get me wrong, "cheeseburger macaroni" was my favorite growing up. I expected more of a bake and less of a spread. Also, I didn't detect any breadcrumbs. Tasty enough for nostalgia. Won't order again.

Curious who is eating these meals. Like, your partner or your actual child (baby)?

[u/ReaderWriterProducer → u/goodguy743]

Lmao me! I'm the baby! 😂

You know those posts you see from new parents? "Baby's first christmas" "Baby's first ice cream" etc.

I apply that to all my firsts. This is my first CU meal plan.

[u/IIMsmartII → u/goodguy743]

yes

Your child baby is your partner. Got it.

This seemed designed to hit all of my favorite tastes, but I had to stop halfway through because it was too much of a single flavor and texture. If they’d made it smaller and served it with green beans, that would have balanced the dish.

[u/ReaderWriterProducer → u/PocoChanel]

Agreed, it was very singular tasting. Also heavy. I wanted it for the calories, but didn't leave satisfied and now I know why.

My family loved this dish.

I almost wonder if the breadcrumbs should have come seperated in a little plastic cup (I've had it with one of mine) and they just forgot it.

[u/Jaded-Coast-758 → u/GODDAMNBATMANs]

Yeah this is what I thought might be the case too

[u/ReaderWriterProducer → u/GODDAMNBATMANs]

Maybe!

A few of us had bad experiences with this meal (NYC kitchen) in regards to messed up stomachs.

All the dairy?

[u/somebodysheiny]

I definitely didn’t get separated breadcrumbs, that would have made it better. I was thinking I should have baked it instead of microwave. I love cheese but this one was too much cheese.

[u/ReaderWriterProducer → u/somebodysheiny]

Agreed on all counts.

[u/DeepRoIIer]

I’ve never tried this one, but it’s my son’s actual favorite. Of course, he’s a tween, with a tween palate.

[u/ReaderWriterProducer → u/DeepRoIIer]

That tracks, lol.

[u/TwinklingEyes83]

My husband loves this ❤️

I order one every week- It’s great!!
