Best orange cheese for macaroni and cheese

All of which leads us to: if you want powdered orange cheese, you can buy it in bulk and use it to make whatever kind of macaroni and cheese you wish. Here’s one brand on Amazon.

+1. Same brand as I mentioned in post #32. This is good stuff and it works well and lasts forever. Like I said, I’m over a year in, with two kids who love mac and cheese, and I still have a lot of powder remaining.

In what way is Kraft responsible? The practice of dyeing cheddar orange pre-dated Kraft’s founding, much less their manufacturing of a mac and cheese product. And people have been using colored cheddar to make mac and cheese ever since there was colored cheddar.

Because orange mac & cheese is not the same as orange cheese. As Ace said eariler, even orange cheese turns a very pale yellow-white when melted and loses its orangeness.
I have eaten lots and lots of macaroni and don’t remember any scratch recipes that were truly orange. The delicious guilty pleasure that is Kraft mac & cheese is, on the other hand, unnaturally orange.
