Article: Box scores: Taste-testing packaged mac & cheese

Is there a difference between Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, the industry leader, and other brands? Torn between creamy and traditional? In a quandary over the virtues of Stouffer's vs. Morton? Look no further.

We enlisted a courageous group of tasters to sample a dozen macaroni-and-cheese dry mixes, frozen dinners and a homemade version. Our panel was composed of three men, three women, a 13-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl.

The unanimous verdict: Homemade won. The tasters said it had a great melt-in-your-mouth quality, pleasant flavor and a desirable sweet aftertaste.
