Mac & cheese is one of those foods that always hits the spot. Whether you make it from scratch, mix it from a box, or order it at a restaurant, it's delicious in all of its forms. A food like that deserves to be celebrated, and National Mac & Cheese Day on July 14 is the perfect time to do so. These are the best food deals in honor of the cheesy, creamy, carby dish we all know and love.
If you want to celebrate at home, try these 45 mac & cheese recipes that include everything from classic mac to mac & cheese waffles.
Stouffer's
On July 14, you can visit Twitter.com/stouffers, to reply to their giveaway tweet using the hashtag #Sweepstakes and follow @Stouffers for a chance to win. Ten lucky winners will receive an assortment of ten free mac & cheese offerings from the brand.
Banza
Banza, the chickpea-based noodle company, is offering 20 percent off a case of six boxes of mac & cheese on their website, eatbanza.com, with code MACDAY. While their mac & cheeses have a similar taste and texture to traditional ones, they provide two times the protein, three times the fiber and between 30 and 40 percent fewer net carbs than the average grain-based mac & cheese.
Noodles & Company
On July 14, Noodles Rewards members will receive a free small bowl of Wisconsin Mac & Cheese with the purchase of any regular entree. The celebration continues on Wednesday, July 15 through Friday, July 17, too, with all Rewards members receiving a free small bowl of gourmet mac & cheese on their next visit with the purchase of any regular entree. To enjoy these special offers, guests need to register via the mobile app or online at Noodles.com/Rewards prior to their first order.
Noodles is also adding to its mac lineup with Ham & Gruyere Mac, featuring a creamy gruyere cheese topped with black forest ham, green onions, and toasted breadcrumbs. Guests looking for a lighter or gluten-friendly option can remove the toasted breadcrumbs and swap traditional elbow noodles with nutritious Zoodles or the gluten-friendly pipette shell.
