Review: Good enough alternative to the blue box. - I grew up eating the blue box. I loved the blue box. I taught my babysitters (two of them!) how to make the blue box when I was a kid. Lately, the blue box has completely failed me. I noticed recently that noodles seemed to be cooking faster than I remembered (I always went by a taste test rather than a timer). So, I checked the cook time (7-9 minutes) and purposely cut that time significantly short (5 minutes). The noodles were still too soft, and after trying to reheat leftovers, they completely disintegrated into a bowl of mush. Like, mashed potato consistency, only softer. And the sauce was bland. I've always tweaked it depending on my feelings for the day. Sometimes more butter if I want it richer. Or more milk if I want it thinner (and greater volume). Lately I've been needing to tweak it more, like adding nutritional yeast, or shredded cheese, or a sprinkling of a salted herb blend. It's just been bland and not lived up to my expectations. So, I started searching for alternatives. I ended up buying this cheese powder, hoping I could replicate the blue box but using quality macaroni noodles. And it worked! Does this product taste exactly like the blue box? not really. It reminds me more of the bunny box. My husband said it was a bit milder than the blue box, but if I'm honest, I think that we are comparing it to our MEMORIES of the blue box, rather than the actual current taste of the blue box. It is milder than I would ultimately love, but it is still yummy and at least gives me the option to continue to make "blue box" mac and cheese without having to suffer through macaroni mush. And, if I want to up the flavor a bit, I can just add a bit more powder! If you are looking to replicate the blue box, here is my suggestion: 1 1/2 c. uncooked macaroni and 2Tbs powder. Cook as directed on blue box (but timed for your macaroni), using butter and milk as you normally would, in the amounts you normally would. Of course you can adjust amounts depending on your tastes/serving needs, but I've found this ratio of macaroni to powder most closely replicates what you would (expect to) get from the blue box. Without macaroni mush.
Review: Delicious and Versatile Cheddar Cheese Powder - The Hoosier Hill Farm Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder has become a staple in my kitchen. Here are some reasons why I’m thrilled with this product: Rich Cheddar Flavor: The cheddar cheese flavor is rich and authentic. It adds a delightful cheesy taste to a variety of dishes, making it a versatile ingredient for many recipes. Large Quantity: The 2.5-pound pack is generous and long-lasting. It's great value for the price, and I don't have to worry about running out anytime soon. Easy to Use: This cheese powder is incredibly easy to use. Whether sprinkling it over popcorn, mixing it into sauces, or adding it to mac and cheese, it dissolves smoothly and blends well with other ingredients. Versatile Applications: I've used it in everything from homemade cheese sauces and dips to sprinkling over vegetables and incorporating into baked goods. It’s also perfect for making a quick cheese sauce by simply mixing it with milk or water. Enhances Flavor: This cheese powder has significantly enhanced the flavor of my dishes.

Final Thoughts: The Hoosier Hill Farm Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder is a must-have for cheese lovers. Its rich flavor, ease of use, and versatility make it an excellent addition to any pantry.

## Features

- Hoosier Hill Farm’s Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder is the natural choice for your kitchen, free from artificial colors and flavoring with bold cheese flavor. Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder offers the same great taste of our best-selling cheddar cheese flavor with no artificial colors.
- We make this premium powder by removing the moisture from real cheese and using natural colorings made from paprika and annatto seeds. We use three pounds of cheese to produce two pounds of powder, so every batch is packed with quality ingredients that guarantee rich, savory flavor. Sprinkle it on everything and anything to make it taste cheesier!
- How to Use: Try it sprinkled over popcorn, pretzels, or vegetables like broccoli and baked potatoes. Blend into sauces, casseroles, and homemade mac and cheese. To season chips, crackers, or other snacks, add 2-4 tablespoons of cheese powder to a zip-top bag. Add your snacks, seal the bag, and then shake to coat.
- Make a Basic Cheese Sauce: To mix a cheddar cheese sauce, melt 1/4 cup of butter or margarine over medium heat in a small saucepan. Once melted, add 1/4 cup of milk and whisk in 2 tablespoons of Premium Cheddar Powder to the pan. Heat until sauce reaches 180F, then cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened . Serve with french fries, soft pretzels, or tortilla chips. Or, pour the sauce over cooked pasta for an easy stovetop macaroni and cheese.
- Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigeration or freezing of the powder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between the premium vs regular Hoosier Farm cheese?**
A: Our original formula (Cheddar Cheese Powder) is colored by artificial agents. This product (Premium Cheddar Cheese) is colored with natural agents (paprika and annatto). Thank you!

**Q: Is this a non GMO product?**
A: Scott, while numerous plants have been contaminated by Monsatano, there are still plenty that are not ruined and are, in fact, non-GMO. While cheese does come predominantly from cow's milk, the answer to whether or not this cheese is non-GMO would depend upon the diet of the cows used for the production of the cheese.  If the cows are grazing upon fresh grass fields and hay, then the likelihood that the cheese is non-GMO is high ( and also have the proper ratio of omega 3 to omega 6/9's); however, if the diet of the cows is mostly grain, then that would raise a red flag as grain feed is typically riddled with GMO's (and the fat profile would be heavily skewed to the omega 6/9 side) unless the farmer spends extra for non-GMO grain feed.

**Q: How does this produc   compare with the hoosier hill farm gourmet creamy cheese sauce mix that i have purchased in the past?**
A: Our Gourmet Creamy Cheese Sauce contained a thickener (wheat flour) to make a thicker sauce by mixing with just liquid. Our Premium Cheddar Cheese does not contain a thickener. It does make a delicious sauce when mixed with milk and butter or even sour cream. Thank you!

**Q: How long with this last for long term storage?**
A: Mine says best buy 2021 and I just bought it a few months ago.  I don't think it would work well for long term storage-but I have kept similar products for quite awhile (2 yrs) and it was fine. And I keep it in the fridge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Cheesy Garlic Bread
*by R***A on May 11, 2025*

For me, nostalgia isn't the blue box mac & cheese (although that used to be good when it was made with real cheese, instead of the leftovers from the cheese making process with other fake junk). Nostalgia for me is cheesy garlic bread made with Real Grated American Cheese like mom used to make. That cheese hasn't been available for a few decades now, and the blue box "cheese" is a poor substitute. This cheese powder made the best cheesy garlic bread I've had in decades. I also tried some mac & cheese, which was delicious, but it's a bit expensive for that when you can easily just use block cheese. It also tastes great on popcorn, but you still need to use butter or it will just fall off, even if you popped the corn in oil. Start with a large loaf of Italian or French bread and split top & bottom. Make a paste from 1 stick of softened butter, 1/3C cheese powder, and 1T garlic powder. Spread on bread and bake at 350F on an upper rack until the cheese browns. Takes less time than to boil and cook your pasta. Also easy to make ahead and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to bake in smaller servings.
