Costco Is Selling Cups Of Panera Mac & Cheese You Can Make In The Microwave And We’re Freaking Out (2024)

Few fast food joints have aced mac & cheese quite like Panera, but making regular trips to the restaurant can get a little time-consuming. Well, make some room in your fridge, because Costco is here with an epic solution.

Costco is now selling single-serving Panera mac & cheese in microwaveable cups. The cups were spotted by Instagram account @CostcoGuy4U and they look sooo good.

According to the label, these mac & cheese containers feature “tender shell pasta perfectly nestled” in Panera’s “signature blend of creamy cheese sauce and tangy Vermont white cheddar cheese.” It's basically the stuff you get at Panera, just conveniently located in your fridge. What could be better? The answer: Not much!!

The reheating instructions are ridiculously easy: Take off the lid and film, put your cup in the microwave, nuke it for two to three minutes, stirring halfway through, and…that’s it. If you want to get fancy, you can also heat it up in a sauce pan on the stove. But that's all up to you!

People were just as excited as you’d expect in the comments. “Nom nom 🤤😋,” one wrote. “OMG,” said another.

You can get four packages (aka two-and-a-half pounds) of mac & cheese for just $9.99. Don't have the fridge capacity to hold all that Panera mac & cheese? That's OK—you can freeze it! According to the label, the stuff can live in your freezer for up to nine months. Panera FTW!
