The Best Boxed Mac & Cheese Wasn't What We Expected

Clinton, Carla, and Michael go head-to-head in a blind taste test of five boxed mac and cheese brands to crown the ultimate winner. Then Clinton shares his go-to recipe for stovetop mac and cheese that's easier than you'd think. On this episode of Chewed Up, hosts Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon taste their way through five different boxed mac and cheese options without knowing which brands they're eating. After ranking them, they're shocked to discover which came out on top. Later, Clinton demonstrates his simple three-cheese stovetop mac and cheese recipe using Colby, cheddar, and Gruyère—proving that homemade versions are just as quick and convenient as the boxed stuff.
