Delicious
by Robin on 8/13/2008
Delicious! Got this as a sample and will order the next time...
This product is great!
by Rachel on 9/24/2008
I cook this on the stove with added onion powder, hot sauce, a bit of salt, handful of spinach and mushrooms. It is great! I'm glad they sent me a sample because I would not have thought to buy this product.
Great entree meal
by Rene on 10/29/2008
So far this is my favorite entree meal. I really recommend cooking in nonstick pan on stovetop rather than microwave, as it improves texture and doesn't take that much longer. Great for lowcarb dieters craving a good old fashioned pasta dish!
Just like philly steak n' cheese!
by Lisa on 12/22/2008
Very yummy. Tastes like a philly steak n' cheese. Add some onions for a more hearty texture. Or pour it over broccoli!
Another product that you must let sit for an adequate amount of time after you make so it will soften but worth the wait!
great tasting
by on 3/19/2009
nice change from drink or bar. I took the advice of another poster here and added steamed low carb veggies. Very good and filling.
Yum
by Kee on 4/14/2009
This is very good, but not a big portion. Drink lots of water with it and have a small salad on the side. I like to add hot sauce to give it a little kick. My friends told me I was brave to order this- but it turned out to be great. The texture isn't weird, like I expected.
This is great!!
by Diana B on 4/22/2009
I ordered six different boxes of product to start so I could try things out. I liked all of it, but I loved this product the best. It is very tasty.
Philly Cheese Steak and Macoroni
by Philly on 4/27/2009
I have tried several different items and this is one of my favorites. Eat alone, or fix some veges and you are done. Very tasty.
My favorite
by Becki on 4/29/2009
I love this dish! It sort of reminds me of Hamburger Helper. Lots and lots of flavor.
Great
by Marion on 5/6/2009
Cheesesteak Macaroni is a tasty, satisfying meal. I was surprised with the great flavor and texture. Hot sauce is my finishing touch to this meal.
GREAT product!
by Shells on 7/8/2009
This is a treat! I eat it every other day. It really has a great flavor!
One of my favs!
by Karen from Dallas on 7/13/2009
Oh my gosh ~ the onion makes this one! It's hard to pick, but I think this is my absolute favorite! I sometimes put this on some toast and it is very close to the Cheese Steak Hot Pockets ~ love it! Small quantity, but again ~ it's not the size that counts, but what you do with it! You will NOT be disappointed!
Very Pleasantly Surprised
by Trishie on 9/22/2009
I am sitting here now enjoying this and I am pleasantly surprised. I even added some string beans to this to increase the portion size a little and put it on a smaller salad plate to trick the eye (which works by the way.) Have a large glass of water and you're set! I am very eager to try the other meals and I know that I can definitely stick to this. Thanks everyone!
One of my Favorites
by MsK on 10/18/2009
This is one of my favorite 'ready now' meals. All I add is some green beans, broccoli or a salad and I feel full and satisfied. Very tasty.
Tastes like you're eating bits of steak
by Ann on 10/31/2009
Yes, if you focus too much... you know it's a diet food. But it is nice and tasty and the bits of steak are surprisingly steak like. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked that I ordered, as I always read the reviews first :)
Nice Pasta meal
by ALin on 12/4/2009
It's a nice change from soups and other types of diet food. The flavor is great, definitely will be ordering it again.
Too good to be true!
by Cheryl on 2/5/2010
This stuff rocks my socks! Cheesy goodness all the way, and surprisingly filling for the amount you get. Even my husband loved it, and he is very skeptical of anything that looks like meat, but isn't. Highly recommend this product!
Nice meal.
by Margie on 3/12/2010
This is a really nice meal. Decent size and great tasting. I will be buying it again.
Love it!
by Rosie on 5/8/2010
Best entree we've tried. Both my husband and I love it for lunch. Easy to fix and full of flavor.
I loved it!
by Gingit on 8/11/2010
I prepared according to instructions, and while it cooked I made fresh salad dressing & spinach salad. All together was satisfying and yummy.
YUMMY!!
by smitty_2648 on 9/11/2010
Very tasty! I love the flavor and the portion size. I can't wait to try all the other entrees too!
Absolutely delicious!!!
by Rosielle on 9/23/2010
This is my first time trying Wonder Slim products, and I was delighted with this entree! I grew up in the Philly area, and this tastes like what I remember eating as a kid...not at all like a diet meal. As a Realize Bandster, the portion size was perfect, too. I'll definitely buy this one again.
I THINK IT'S VERY GOOD
by Alish1974 on 1/11/2011
I cannot stress enough to use 1 ounce less of water than they say and to make sure you PUT YOUR MICROWAVE ON 50% POWER. Cook it for two minutes at a whack until its hot enough to cook past. For me its a total of 5 minutes and then let it cool for 5 minutes more. I've cooked it many times in the microwave and it comes out just fine. No boiling over, no nothing and I use a pretty darn small dish. I would love for there to be more of the product to eat but then again that's the problem isn't it? We want to eat more food than we're supposed to. The taste is pretty good however I add a packet of Taco Bell Fire Sauce to it. I love the little bit of heat it gives it.
Cheese Steak Macaroni
by EAH on 1/14/2011
Love it.... makes a great lunch
Pleasantly Surprised
by Karen on 3/27/2011
I am so surprised that this stuff tastes good. I added a lot more water than recommended And let it sit for a while then reheated it. It's creamy, cheesy, and meaty. The pasta is like regular pasta. I would definitely be able to keep this up, given the variety of foods offered. Are you sure this is diet food? There's got to be some catch!
A former fat girl's dream
by Mesamommy on 3/30/2011
I grew up on hamburger helper (hence the whole reason I need to diet) and stumbled upon this product. I was thrilled when I could smell it cooking, but tickled pink when I tasted it. I don't even feel like I am dieting while eating this food. Good diet foods keep you from wanting to cheat, and this is a GREAT diet food! Keep an eye on it cooking though, use a deep bowl. Much better than that other overpriced powdered food diet out there!
My Favorite
by Carole on 3/31/2011
I could live all day on this. I stove-top cook a whole box (7)pkgs at once, put them in screw-top containers, refrigerate, when hungry I pop one in the microwave for about 1 min. and enjoy. Keeps me satisfied for hours.
WS Cheese Steak Macaroni
by CL on 6/6/2011
Great tasting - let soak for awhile before cooking to allow pasta to fully soften!
Great Pasta
by Ellie on 6/13/2011
Feel like I'm cheating on my diet when I have this for lunch. The taste is excellent, the portion size and most of all, the high protein is just perfect. Thanks for making this great product.
WS Diet Cheesesteak Macaroni
by Lilli on 6/21/2011
This was a pleasant surprise for me. I don't usually like cheese with beef. This is unusually good to me. It's a good entree to fit in for a meal. If you haven't eaten all your veggies you can add all or some to this dish. You'll find it very tasty.
Delicious
by B J on 8/7/2011
This was absolutely wonderful. I expected it to be mostly macaroni, but it had lots of steak flakes in a yummy tasty cheese sauce with macaroni noodles thrown in. If you like philly cheese steak, try this one. I cooked it on the stove-top and YUMMMMMMM!
My Favorite Pasta Dish
by Jessie on 9/12/2011
This is great! It's great taste and texture keep me full and satisfied. I eat at least one of these everyday and I never seem to tire of it! I've purchased a variety of the other entrees, veggie sloppy joe, veggie chili, spice pasta. Since I eat two entrees daily, I chose one of the others for one meal but always include this one for the second. Keeps me full for a long time!
Blessings!
Tasty
by Shark on 9/13/2011
First time I have had this, and it is tasty, Philly Cheese tasty is to be debated. But a nice meal when you add a salad or such. I would buy again.
Cheese steak macaroni
by Don on 12/5/2011
Very good, just doesn't look like the picture on the box. Maybe I'm preparing it in the right manner. Aside with looks it's really good!
Get my pasta fix
by Joann on 12/27/2011
I really like this product. It is tasty and I get my pasta fix.
Reminds me of Philly Cheesesteak
by MelB on 1/7/2012
I loved this. It is a little bland, but I do not get any nasty protein taste. I just throw a little garlic and chill powder in and it tastes sort of like a Philly Cheesesteak, was discouraged by the reviews but I am so glad I gave it a chance!
Really tasty
by DMC on 1/23/2012
I have this with a quick side of broccoli and its delish. Its too small by itself but of course since its pasta, you have to limit your serving. I let it soak in warm water for about 30 minutes before I microwave and that ensures that the pasta is tender. Very creamy and good!
Good stuff
by Nicole B. on 3/12/2012
This stuff tastes great! My 18 year old daughter, who is dieting with me agrees. It has a nice flavor and texture, but it really hits the spot as dinner! She usually throws a few steamed shrimp in (at 7 cals per shrimp) and gives it a little twist.
Like it!
by lericks on 5/28/2012
I'm not sure why other people think this tastes bland, maybe people are used to eating food with more salt? I think it has a lot of flavor and I actually look forward to eating it! Much better than other similar diet foods I've tried and one of my favorite Wonderslim products. (Updated on 5/29/2012.)
Love this!
by audra on 8/14/2012
I had weightloss surgery 2+ years ago and I rarely eat pasta -- just my choice as I still don't eat much and want to maximize my nutrition and full feeling, that being said having this as occasional treat is super! I can't finish the whole serving but I am fine with having half and saving the rest for another day. Great treat!
Great low calorie/lower carb lunch option
by Diane on 9/4/2012
This is my favorite lunch entree. Tastes good, is filling, and doesn't feel like I'm eating diet food. I like to alternate between this and the Spicy Cheese N Pasta entree.
Love it
by Gail on 10/19/2012
I use this particular entree to "automate" my diet. I never have to wonder about what I'll eat for lunch, I always reach for one of the D.D entrees. Right now it is the Cheese Steak Macaroni. I make it in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup and eat it right out of there as well. When I need more of a lunch, I add [frozen, heated] veggies or cooked quinoa or a half cup of lo-sodium black beans to the heated meal. Quick,easy, tasty.
Surprisingly good
by Thasic on 11/12/2012
I was a little hesitant to buy this item. I am a fairly finicky eater and this didn't look to appetizing. However, not many of the other options seemed appealing either (except the chili which i love) so, on my second order, I gave this a try. It is actually very good, not quite as good as the chili (did i mention that's my favorite) but tasty and filling. Try it out for yourself.
Yummy and perfect portion for post bariatrics
by Suzie on 12/21/2012
I can't believe so many people are giving this bad reviews! This meal is fantastic and my favourite so far. I cooked it in the microwave on medium and then high as recommended with some added garlic granules and I was pleasantly suprised at how yummy and satisfying this meal was. I have a lapband and the portion was just perfect for my lunch. I was full till dinner time. I am ordering this from Australia and I will definately keep re-ordering this, even with huge shipping costs. 130 calories for a filling meal is wonderful!
Hits the spot
by Cochese on 1/5/2013
I am a Medifast user but much prefer this product to their Mac & Cheese. This really hits the spot on a cold winter's day. And it is a decent sized portion.
I C R A V E this product
by pattykk on 7/7/2013
I love this: I'll make it soupier by adding more water, a little bullion or some spices and it keeps me filled very very long. Lots of taste! I also like to add a little sautéed onion, peppers and celery...tomatoes....you name it. It's so filling and so "light" in calories and fat!
Pretty good
by Kathryn on 7/13/2013
I am generally fine with soy products so someone else might find the 'meat' a little rubbery, but I was glad that there was more soy than pasta, actually.
Beware, it smells a little gross out of the package and looks a little gross prior to the second stir and microwaving, but once it's all done, the flavor is pretty decent for something like this.
Shhh I Found The Secret .....
by Julie on 8/29/2013
Ok, so I have been eating this for quite some time, following the directions on the package. I convinced myself it wasn't so bad. I have had worse. Then, I found the secret to make this taste awesome! I poured the dried contents into my little plastic container, added the water, covered the container and put it in the refrigerator. I took it to work the next day. At break time, I removed the lid to cook it in the microwave at work. Imagine my surprise when I removed the lid and the noodles were already soft and the meaty stuff was all plumped up! I heated it as directed, and it tasted so much better! I couldn't believe it. P.S. It works for the soups too!
Filling and tasty
by Nora on 9/2/2013
The first time I made this, I didn't have a deep bowl and it got all over the microwave. Needless to say, it wasn't very good. With a better bowl and proper preparation, this is a really filling meal that hits the spot.
A dandy treat!
by Jane on 9/26/2013
This is my favorite pasta type dish! It conjures up the days of my eating copious amounts of cheesy-mac Hamburger Helper while in college! It's warm, satisfying and the portion doesn't leave you longing for more. My only wish is that I could eat it every day!
WonderSlim Cheese Steak Macaroni
by Carole on 9/28/2013
Can't live without them....I make a whole box at a time...keep 'em coming!
Actually tastes like cheese steak!
by Emily on 9/28/2013
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this dish was. I could almost imaging biting into a juicy cheese steak on a roll. Glad I tried it!
My favore meal
by Kelley on 11/15/2013
My favorite meal of the day, I add some mushrooms and sauteed onions to it and then when finished cooking, pour a bag of bariwise cheddar cheese puffs on top, excellent together.
In my top 2
by AuntKitty on 2/19/2014
I really like this meal. Just enough pasta to fulfill the craving without going overboard. The soy "meat" can take some getting used to, but is great when you do. I like to add a bit of hot sauce to this and eat with a side of sautéed veggies on the side. It makes for a filling and satisfying meal. I always keep this on hand. This one and vegetarian joe.
Surprisingly Good
by Denise on 10/9/2014
There were really good! I put in just the right amount of water and microwaved it. It was really good. I was thinking that it wouldn't be but it was! Very satisfying. Will try again.
OMG tastes just like a cheesesteak
by Jill on 10/9/2014
I'm from near Philly and this stuff tastes just like the ones I get there. I just wish there was more in a portion (but I've learned to control myself!) Will definitely be re-ordering!
Great taste
by Megan on 10/16/2014
I enjoyed this - it cooked easily and thoroughly, and was soft enough for me to not worry about. Since this was a success, am looking at trying other flavors and products.
absolutely love this
by Patricia on 10/20/2014
i add more water than it says, then add Kroger cheese sprinkles (like zero cals) and more cayenne pepper and drink it like soup. i crave this.
Enjoyed!!!!
by Neyda on 10/23/2014
Loved the flavor and texture. I was pleasantly surprised. So happy I tried it. Will mos def be reordering!
Love These!!
by sm62 on 12/5/2014
The Cheese Steak Macaroni Lite Entrees are one of my favorites. Super tasty, blend well and ready to eat quickly, satisfying for a good while. A winnder!
Wow
by roberta on 1/6/2015
Very good...much better than expected
YUMMY!
by Judy on 4/20/2015
I really like this one. It is the most filling of all the lite entrees.
Very good
by Joann on 5/25/2015
I really like this. It beats Medifast Macaroni and cheese hands down.
Really good and filling
by Tiffany on 8/7/2015
Tried this for the first time. Cooked on stovetop for a few minutes. It was a little more "souoier" than it was supposed to be, but was very delicious. I put in a little chili bowl with 1t of fat free plain Greek yogurt and it was really good and I was pretty full when done.
Amazingly good!
by Tiffany on 8/10/2015
I cooked this using the stove top directions. I then added sharataki tofu noodles and tossed in a cut up boca burger. Made a huge plate of food and was very filling.
One of my favorite meals
by Joann on 8/23/2015
I love the Cheese Steak Macaroni. It is one of my favorites and I always have this on hand. I was afraid to try it after tasting the horrible Medifast Macaroni and Cheese but the Wonderslim Cheese Steak Macaroni is tasty.
One of my favorite meals
by Joann on 9/4/2015
I eat WonderSlim Cheese Steak Macaron often. It tastes so much better than the Medifast Macaroni and Cheese. I always make sure that I have this meal on hand.
"Real" food
by Lyn on 7/18/2017
I very much enjoy this meal because it is like eating real food someone cooked, not just a shake or a bar. The meat is chewy like another reviewer said, but that's good IMO. Real meat is a little chewy too, with a similar texture. This makes a filling lunch even though it is a small portion.
great
by Carole on 1/13/2018
the best. don't change it.
Would buy again!`
by gina on 3/22/2018
This is a tasty filling lunch item. Still wanted my afternoon snack but that is not a problem with the 5 a day meal plan. Don't touch the recipe.
Wonderslim Cheese Steak macaroni
by LeeShannon on 3/22/2018
Love it! After having the medifast lite entrees for over a year and then trying this one, there is no comparison. For a small meal it sure fills you up and has great flavor, it feels like you are eating real mac and cheese and not a diet product, Love it!
Great Taste
by Reginia on 3/29/2018
I absolutely loved the taste of the cheese steak macaroni.
Not bad
by Webby on 2/26/2009
I had this w/ torilla's and it was really good. Very filling.
A good diet meal
by bgirlsquirrel on 3/29/2009
The first of my little meals I have gotten into. I was really pleased with it. I tasted REALLY good, I may have added a bit more onion. Not overly cheesy. No strange aftertaste. The only thing that made this get 4 stars is the texture, but I think that might be my own personal preference.
Good
by Califgirl on 1/8/2010
This tastes pretty good overall, but I like the taste of the Cheese N Macaroni, just a bit better. Neither tastes like Diet Food, just gives you a small amount with lots of good protein.
Meal Goes from Average to Good with Just a Little Help
by jenniferlynne76 on 10/15/2010
My first bite of the Cheesesteak Macaroni was a little disappointing. It fell flat somehow. Not quite cheesy enough...beefy, but just lacking something. Then I realized it was just a little bland. I put a mixed a small pinch of sea salt into bowl and...YUM! Instant improvement! It literally took the dish from eh, I don't think I'd rush to get this again, to this is really good, and I can't wait to have the next time around.
The trick I've learned with the entree meals applies to this one as well: use boiling water in the first step to cut down on the microwave cooking time and improve the texture of the pasta and soy crumbles. 6 oz. of boiling water, mixed into the dry product and just 3 minutes on 50% in the microwave yielded a thick and tasty dish with soft noodles and much less rubbery steak.
With just a few minor adjustments this dish has happily made its way into my meal rotation.
Pretty Good!
by KPT on 12/7/2010
I tried to cook one of these in the microwave in a mug, but it exploded all over my microwave long before the time was up (to be fair, I think this may have to do more with the physics of boiling liquid/insufficient surface area/my microwave), so, not to be deterred, I made it on the stove instead. I also added a little squirt of SriRacha (the asian hot sauce with the rooster on the front- it's very garlicky and delicious). I thought it came out quite well and will definitely order again. It was reminiscent of the inside of a Hot Pocket.
Good Stuff
by Drea on 3/6/2011
Very tasty! I love the portion size to help me with my weight loss, yes it is a little bland but I just seasoned it up a little and it taste wonderful. I could eat this all week for lunch it is just delicious. It does not taste like the actual steak mac and cheese you would make at home but if you season it up a little to satisfy your taste buds you will not be disappointed.
Pretty yummy!
by Angela on 5/16/2011
I like this product when I'm feeling the need to eat a meaty pasta. It's a small portion, but the flavor is good, and I try to eat it slowly to make it last.
Lacks Cheese Flavor
by Amy4 on 7/4/2011
Very salty, lacks cheese flavor: takes some getting used to.
Cheese steak Pasta
by missmary on 2/2/2012
I was really surprised that it tasted so good. Normally this type of diet food is very bland or leaves some type of aftertaste but this was very good. Easier to make at home versus the office.
Good.
by EB on 2/7/2012
Good stuff. It's a little bland, so don't be afraid to jack it up a little with some black pepper or Tabasco. This is good, but I prefer the Spicy Cheese N Pasta just a bit more.
Cheese steak macaroni
by Marie on 3/8/2012
It is really delicious, BUT...please add some paprika or some other colorful spice to it because the sight of it is not appealing at all!! I almost didn't taste it, but am glad I did. Still...it needs to appear better visually.
Not bad
by on 5/26/2012
I wouldn't say it tastes like a cheesesteak. It does remind me of cheeseburger hamburger helper. I add a little onion salt and garlic powder, and it's yummy. Without seasoning it's a little bland.
Nice tasty treat
by lasq on 8/14/2012
I was sure I would like this when I saw what it looked like when it was cooking; but I can say this was a tasty and filling meal. I'm post bariatric and this was just the right amount of food for me - not too little, not too much. I cooked it at the office and everyone thought it smelled wonderful (it does!).
Decently Good
by Jen on 8/14/2012
This is a bit bland, but not in a bad way. More of a not spicy in the slightest way. Kind of like hamburger helper, plain. Know that the beef can't possibly be beef. I swear it tastes like seitan, which is fine with me, I like "mock" meat. I could be wrong, but that is what it tasted like to me. All in all, not bad. I will eat it again. It kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and would eat hamburger helper, only would use shredded seitan instead of beef. So, hey, I will take it! :)
not bad! very small serving
by Jane on 10/24/2012
The serving is super tiny.. but its surprisingly filling. If you get used to doing a low carb diet with the wonderslim and bariwise stuff, you'll find it satisfying. Kind of tastes like hamburger helper.
Tastes like diet food
by Christina on 2/4/2015
Not the best tasting thing in the world, not the worst. If i'm really hungry and need something more than a protein shake, I throw one of these in and feel much better. It keeps me on track on my diet which is all that matters to me. Overall...B
Pretty good
by Kitty on 5/6/2015
Easy to make, flavor is good but slightly bland, I added a drop of hot sauce which made it better. Will order this again.
Microwave carefully
by Jane on 8/18/2016
If you take the time to mix it well it tastes like hamburger helper which I think is pretty good! If you have a high power microwave just check on it periodically and stir.
Meat chunks are odd
by Sabrina on 7/7/2017
The flavor is actually quite great which is why I'll continue to eat this snack. I, however, won't reorder as WonderSlim has other, better entrees. This product has bits of 'steak' that to me is a tad strange. Ground rehydrated0 meat* is borderline ok, but chunks of meat* are just wrong. I also felt like this was slightly bland, so I add a pinch of salt (not something I'm happy to do!).
* Texturized Soy Protein
It was Okay
by Shani on 7/21/2010
I liked the pasta and cheese portion of this entree. But I didn't like the Steak, the taste and texture weren't to my liking.
But overall it wasn't bad.
Adequate, but I wouldn't say GREAT
by PrincessDieter on 7/22/2010
I cooked this stovetop since other reviewers recommended that. I watched it the whole time to avoid overcooking. It was all right. The final serving is about a cup. The meat has a slightly odd texture, but not totally off-putting (chewy). The pasta was okay. The cheesiness was adequate. It's not something that made me gag and it's not an entree that made me go Oh, that as fun. It's merely adequate.
I am not sure at this point if I'd reorder. I'd have to wait and see how it grows--or doesn't--on me and how the other entrees strike me. BUT...it does have a nice filling quality given the quantity. I had it with a side of sauteed spinach, a boiled egg, a small wedge of cheese, and had a creamy pudding for dessert. I was full and got plenty of protein. By itself, I would not be satisfied, but I do think adding veggies as sides--or a salad--or adding some extra low-carb pasta would help oodles. If you LOVE cheesesteak, then definitely try it. There aren't that many entree options, and this seems to be one of the more highly regarded WonderSlim ones. I'd recommend it to those who know it's special high-protein diet food and are willing to base their taste expectations on that basis. Enjoy and be well.
Not too shabby
by mkejake on 3/9/2011
This is ok. It smells good, tastes alright. I tossed a little Lawry's seasoning salt in and it made a big difference. (I don't have and issues with sodium so I can) Still has a little bit of an aftertaste that is strange, but I didn't have to choke it down.
Will do in a Pinch
by Mrs. B on 9/17/2011
I bought both the Spicy Cheese and Pasta and this one. I much prefer the Spicy Cheese and Pasta. This is alright just a bit bland. Better when I added salsa to it.
It was ok
by Cee Jay on 9/20/2011
It was ok...I was expecting more from the dish but I didn't.
Pretty good
by Tom on 12/3/2011
This is average IMO. The spicy cheese and pasta is much better. The texture of the TVP is not as good as the sloppy joe or the spicy cheese and pasta.
Good
by etvht on 3/12/2012
I think that the Cheese Steak Macaroni is good. It isn't great, but there is no weird aftertaste. As others have stated, it is bland but it isn't bad. You could add some spices to it to make it taste better, I don't bother though. The thing I don't like about it is the look of it, it looks pretty unapealing once cooked. I am eating it and I may order it again.
Not the greatest
by Katelen on 8/12/2012
The beef in this makes it so disgusting. I bought this thinking by the reviews it would be a healthy choice. The texture/fllavor makes it hard to eat.
eh, is ok
by Amber on 6/27/2013
Not my favorite by any means, I like the Alfredo or Spicy cheese & pasta better, but it's edible. The texture is very weird....probably won't order it again. Might even add peas to it next time, make it more of a stroganoff type?
good flavor
by Chris on 10/14/2013
I wish this was without YELLOW DYE. Also noticed that several Wonder Slim products contain "Dyes" and can it be removed from future products, please.
My very first replacement meal
by Allyson on 10/19/2015
It's edible. I think that pretty much sums it up. The noodles are good, but the "meat" reminds me of cat food. Each bite, I sort of had to remind myself that it is good for me. Probably won't order this again.
yuck
by Bonnie on 10/1/2008
Yuck. I will try on the stove next time, but so far...yuck
Odd texture; not enough macaroni
by GrannyQ on 4/10/2011
This one is weird. The flavor is OK. But the texture is off. The meat is the problem; too much of it and it is just weird looking and a weird texture in the mouth. It is literally flaky, not granular, so it is odd. And there is not as much macaroni as I'd like. But it tastes OK.
Explodes!
by Sherry on 9/11/2011
No matter what I do, it seems to explode in the microwave and most of it splatters out of the dish.
Disappointing
by KellyRNMSN on 8/14/2012
Not nearly as good as the spicy cheese and mac or the cheesy mac or the alfredo. The "steak" bits taste odd to me and the whole dish is just bland.
Yuck
by Cath on 12/4/2012
Even when I add some spices, it still tastes bad... But I have two boxes to eat, so I will try to add some other things to make it taste better... We'll see!
Not for me.....
by Rosalind on 9/20/2013
I am a new WonderSlim customer. Considered going back on Medifast & decided to give WonderSlim a try. So far have only tried 3 products...Cheese Steak Macaroni, Spicy Cheese Pasta & Chili w/beans. Read reviews & followed advice to mix the Steak/Macaroni with water & allow to sit for an hour. Unfortunately, did not like the taste & will not reorder. Will reorder the Spicy Cheese Pasta. Of the 3, enjoyed the Chili w/beans the most. Mixed with some canned tomatoes & poured over shredded lettuce.....very filling & satisfying.
Not a favorite
by Darla on 11/8/2013
the texture of the "steak" leaves a lot to be desired, the noodles were good. I'm going to think of something to do with the rest of the box & will not re-order this
Noodles are good...
by Angelina on 4/8/2016
Mixes up well, and it looks good, but the gag factor is strong with this one. I gave it two stars for the noodles.
It's edible
by Laura on 5/12/2017
Maybe I didn't cook it long enough, but the meat was very chewy. I won't be purchasing it again.

never again:(
by jaci140 on 1/4/2011
Contrary to other reviewers, not good. This was so sadly disgusting....and I LOVE pasta, mac and cheese, macaroni (any type and yes the cheapo box ones included from the grocer). But not happy at all with this, threw out the rest of the box and went back to my bars/cereals/shakes for the supplements. Of every product I've tried, I can say that I have never thrown out the rest of a box of anything. At least I tried!
Did not like it
by on 8/17/2011
I am a huge macaroni and cheese fan, but this had no taste. I did not like it at all. I could not taste any cheese, which I believe was the problem.
It's awful!!
by rosie on 1/27/2012
I guess I don't agree with most other people here. I think it tastes awful. There is way too much of the soy crumbles. Maybe I need to add some flavoring to it. I will try that as I still have three boxes of it to eat. Maybe flavoring it with something will help. I love the chili and the veg. Joe, so I thought I'd like this.
NOT so much a favorite
by debsee on 3/2/2012
I tried this product for the benefit of having pasta, but unfortunately having pasta turned out to be very bland, no taste and very dis-satisfying. I have managed to put a little zest in it with the help of redhot, or salt and pepper, and fresh peppers and onions. I have decided to stick with the vegetarian joe.
Bad Taste
by Katie on 9/13/2012
Can't get over the flakey "steak" bits. I'll stick with the Cheesy Mac and Alfredo.
Yuck
by Trudy on 9/14/2012
Nasty tasting hate to throw away money but won't eat. Too powdery tasting. Made me sick. Fixed only one pkg now have rest sitting in cabinet.
Awful
by Bama Girl on 11/4/2012
This taste awful. The meat in it just doesn't look very good either. The smell is really bad.
cheese steak mac
by amanda on 1/22/2013
terrible looks like dog food and taste the same
HORRIBLE!!
by Nadia on 2/19/2013
I was really hoping to love this product! After 2 weeks of no carbs
and trying so hard -I thought I would reward myself with a low carb pasta entree! so I heated up as instructed the cheese steak macaroni!! Unfortunately, this product is an epic failure! the look,taste and smell are HORRIBLE! like another person said - DOG FOOD!
I am sorry wonderslim - I love almost all your products! but this was horrible!! the pasta and the cheese parts are decent, however, something about the meat part that has to change!!
Maybe take away the meat part and just flavor the sauce as a philly cheese steak sauce!! sloppy dog food! I regret buying this and wasting the money!! I hope the Alfredo is better tomorrow!!
Yuck!
by Debbie on 5/3/2013
I Love most of the products but I really didn't like this. I think it was the texture. I love the Spicy Cheese and Pasta but not this!
Not so great
by olga on 5/15/2014
This is not a great meal. I followed the directions exactly & the dish turned out watery & messy. I have not tried to cook it again.
Gave me indigestion

YUM!by Rhonda on 7/21/2008
Yum Yum!!! I love this! Got it as a free sample & will purchase this next time!
Buy this NOWby Donna L Cullum on 7/24/2008
Don't bother waiting for the sample, just BUY THIS NOW it's delicious!!!
Deliciousby Robin on 8/13/2008
Delicious! Got this as a sample and will order the next time...
This product is great!by Rachel on 9/24/2008
I cook this on the stove with added onion powder, hot sauce, a bit of salt, handful of spinach and mushrooms. It is great! I'm glad they sent me a sample because I would not have thought to buy this product.
Great entree mealby Rene on 10/29/2008
So far this is my favorite entree meal. I really recommend cooking in nonstick pan on stovetop rather than microwave, as it improves texture and doesn't take that much longer. Great for lowcarb dieters craving a good old fashioned pasta dish!
Just like philly steak n' cheese!by Lisa on 12/22/2008
Very yummy. Tastes like a philly steak n' cheese. Add some onions for a more hearty texture. Or pour it over broccoli!
Another product that you must let sit for an adequate amount of time after you make so it will soften but worth the wait!
great tastingby on 3/19/2009
nice change from drink or bar. I took the advice of another poster here and added steamed low carb veggies. Very good and filling.
Yumby Kee on 4/14/2009
This is very good, but not a big portion. Drink lots of water with it and have a small salad on the side. I like to add hot sauce to give it a little kick. My friends told me I was brave to order this- but it turned out to be great. The texture isn't weird, like I expected.
This is great!!by Diana B on 4/22/2009
I ordered six different boxes of product to start so I could try things out. I liked all of it, but I loved this product the best. It is very tasty.
Philly Cheese Steak and Macoroniby Philly on 4/27/2009
I have tried several different items and this is one of my favorites. Eat alone, or fix some veges and you are done. Very tasty.
My favoriteby Becki on 4/29/2009
I love this dish! It sort of reminds me of Hamburger Helper. Lots and lots of flavor.
Greatby Marion on 5/6/2009
Cheesesteak Macaroni is a tasty, satisfying meal. I was surprised with the great flavor and texture. Hot sauce is my finishing touch to this meal.
GREAT product!by Shells on 7/8/2009
This is a treat! I eat it every other day. It really has a great flavor!
One of my favs!by Karen from Dallas on 7/13/2009
Oh my gosh ~ the onion makes this one! It's hard to pick, but I think this is my absolute favorite! I sometimes put this on some toast and it is very close to the Cheese Steak Hot Pockets ~ love it! Small quantity, but again ~ it's not the size that counts, but what you do with it! You will NOT be disappointed!
Very Pleasantly Surprisedby Trishie on 9/22/2009
I am sitting here now enjoying this and I am pleasantly surprised. I even added some string beans to this to increase the portion size a little and put it on a smaller salad plate to trick the eye (which works by the way.) Have a large glass of water and you're set! I am very eager to try the other meals and I know that I can definitely stick to this. Thanks everyone!
One of my Favoritesby MsK on 10/18/2009
This is one of my favorite 'ready now' meals. All I add is some green beans, broccoli or a salad and I feel full and satisfied. Very tasty.
Tastes like you're eating bits of steakby Ann on 10/31/2009
Yes, if you focus too much... you know it's a diet food. But it is nice and tasty and the bits of steak are surprisingly steak like. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked that I ordered, as I always read the reviews first :)
Nice Pasta mealby ALin on 12/4/2009
It's a nice change from soups and other types of diet food. The flavor is great, definitely will be ordering it again.
Too good to be true!by Cheryl on 2/5/2010
This stuff rocks my socks! Cheesy goodness all the way, and surprisingly filling for the amount you get. Even my husband loved it, and he is very skeptical of anything that looks like meat, but isn't. Highly recommend this product!
Nice meal.by Margie on 3/12/2010
This is a really nice meal. Decent size and great tasting. I will be buying it again.
Love it!by Rosie on 5/8/2010
Best entree we've tried. Both my husband and I love it for lunch. Easy to fix and full of flavor.
I loved it!by Gingit on 8/11/2010
I prepared according to instructions, and while it cooked I made fresh salad dressing & spinach salad. All together was satisfying and yummy.
YUMMY!!by smitty_2648 on 9/11/2010
Very tasty! I love the flavor and the portion size. I can't wait to try all the other entrees too!
Absolutely delicious!!!by Rosielle on 9/23/2010
This is my first time trying Wonder Slim products, and I was delighted with this entree! I grew up in the Philly area, and this tastes like what I remember eating as a kid...not at all like a diet meal. As a Realize Bandster, the portion size was perfect, too. I'll definitely buy this one again.
I THINK IT'S VERY GOODby Alish1974 on 1/11/2011
I cannot stress enough to use 1 ounce less of water than they say and to make sure you PUT YOUR MICROWAVE ON 50% POWER. Cook it for two minutes at a whack until its hot enough to cook past. For me its a total of 5 minutes and then let it cool for 5 minutes more. I've cooked it many times in the microwave and it comes out just fine. No boiling over, no nothing and I use a pretty darn small dish. I would love for there to be more of the product to eat but then again that's the problem isn't it? We want to eat more food than we're supposed to. The taste is pretty good however I add a packet of Taco Bell Fire Sauce to it. I love the little bit of heat it gives it.
Cheese Steak Macaroniby EAH on 1/14/2011
Love it.... makes a great lunch
Pleasantly Surprisedby Karen on 3/27/2011
I am so surprised that this stuff tastes good. I added a lot more water than recommended And let it sit for a while then reheated it. It's creamy, cheesy, and meaty. The pasta is like regular pasta. I would definitely be able to keep this up, given the variety of foods offered. Are you sure this is diet food? There's got to be some catch!
A former fat girl's dreamby Mesamommy on 3/30/2011
I grew up on hamburger helper (hence the whole reason I need to diet) and stumbled upon this product. I was thrilled when I could smell it cooking, but tickled pink when I tasted it. I don't even feel like I am dieting while eating this food. Good diet foods keep you from wanting to cheat, and this is a GREAT diet food! Keep an eye on it cooking though, use a deep bowl. Much better than that other overpriced powdered food diet out there!
My Favoriteby Carole on 3/31/2011
I could live all day on this. I stove-top cook a whole box (7)pkgs at once, put them in screw-top containers, refrigerate, when hungry I pop one in the microwave for about 1 min. and enjoy. Keeps me satisfied for hours.
WS Cheese Steak Macaroniby CL on 6/6/2011
Great tasting - let soak for awhile before cooking to allow pasta to fully soften!
Great Pastaby Ellie on 6/13/2011
Feel like I'm cheating on my diet when I have this for lunch. The taste is excellent, the portion size and most of all, the high protein is just perfect. Thanks for making this great product.
WS Diet Cheesesteak Macaroniby Lilli on 6/21/2011
This was a pleasant surprise for me. I don't usually like cheese with beef. This is unusually good to me. It's a good entree to fit in for a meal. If you haven't eaten all your veggies you can add all or some to this dish. You'll find it very tasty.
Deliciousby B J on 8/7/2011
This was absolutely wonderful. I expected it to be mostly macaroni, but it had lots of steak flakes in a yummy tasty cheese sauce with macaroni noodles thrown in. If you like philly cheese steak, try this one. I cooked it on the stove-top and YUMMMMMMM!
My Favorite Pasta Dishby Jessie on 9/12/2011
This is great! It's great taste and texture keep me full and satisfied. I eat at least one of these everyday and I never seem to tire of it! I've purchased a variety of the other entrees, veggie sloppy joe, veggie chili, spice pasta. Since I eat two entrees daily, I chose one of the others for one meal but always include this one for the second. Keeps me full for a long time!
Blessings!
Tastyby Shark on 9/13/2011
First time I have had this, and it is tasty, Philly Cheese tasty is to be debated. But a nice meal when you add a salad or such. I would buy again.
Cheese steak macaroniby Don on 12/5/2011
Very good, just doesn't look like the picture on the box. Maybe I'm preparing it in the right manner. Aside with looks it's really good!
Get my pasta fixby Joann on 12/27/2011
I really like this product. It is tasty and I get my pasta fix.
Reminds me of Philly Cheesesteakby MelB on 1/7/2012
I loved this. It is a little bland, but I do not get any nasty protein taste. I just throw a little garlic and chill powder in and it tastes sort of like a Philly Cheesesteak, was discouraged by the reviews but I am so glad I gave it a chance!
Really tastyby DMC on 1/23/2012
I have this with a quick side of broccoli and its delish. Its too small by itself but of course since its pasta, you have to limit your serving. I let it soak in warm water for about 30 minutes before I microwave and that ensures that the pasta is tender. Very creamy and good!
Good stuffby Nicole B. on 3/12/2012
This stuff tastes great! My 18 year old daughter, who is dieting with me agrees. It has a nice flavor and texture, but it really hits the spot as dinner! She usually throws a few steamed shrimp in (at 7 cals per shrimp) and gives it a little twist.
Like it!by lericks on 5/28/2012
I'm not sure why other people think this tastes bland, maybe people are used to eating food with more salt? I think it has a lot of flavor and I actually look forward to eating it! Much better than other similar diet foods I've tried and one of my favorite Wonderslim products. (Updated on 5/29/2012.)
Love this!by audra on 8/14/2012
I had weightloss surgery 2+ years ago and I rarely eat pasta -- just my choice as I still don't eat much and want to maximize my nutrition and full feeling, that being said having this as occasional treat is super! I can't finish the whole serving but I am fine with having half and saving the rest for another day. Great treat!
Great low calorie/lower carb lunch optionby Diane on 9/4/2012
This is my favorite lunch entree. Tastes good, is filling, and doesn't feel like I'm eating diet food. I like to alternate between this and the Spicy Cheese N Pasta entree.
Love itby Gail on 10/19/2012
I use this particular entree to "automate" my diet. I never have to wonder about what I'll eat for lunch, I always reach for one of the D.D entrees. Right now it is the Cheese Steak Macaroni. I make it in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup and eat it right out of there as well. When I need more of a lunch, I add [frozen, heated] veggies or cooked quinoa or a half cup of lo-sodium black beans to the heated meal. Quick,easy, tasty.
Surprisingly goodby Thasic on 11/12/2012
I was a little hesitant to buy this item. I am a fairly finicky eater and this didn't look to appetizing. However, not many of the other options seemed appealing either (except the chili which i love) so, on my second order, I gave this a try. It is actually very good, not quite as good as the chili (did i mention that's my favorite) but tasty and filling. Try it out for yourself.
Yummy and perfect portion for post bariatricsby Suzie on 12/21/2012
I can't believe so many people are giving this bad reviews! This meal is fantastic and my favourite so far. I cooked it in the microwave on medium and then high as recommended with some added garlic granules and I was pleasantly suprised at how yummy and satisfying this meal was. I have a lapband and the portion was just perfect for my lunch. I was full till dinner time. I am ordering this from Australia and I will definately keep re-ordering this, even with huge shipping costs. 130 calories for a filling meal is wonderful!
Hits the spotby Cochese on 1/5/2013
I am a Medifast user but much prefer this product to their Mac & Cheese. This really hits the spot on a cold winter's day. And it is a decent sized portion.
I C R A V E this productby pattykk on 7/7/2013
I love this: I'll make it soupier by adding more water, a little bullion or some spices and it keeps me filled very very long. Lots of taste! I also like to add a little sautéed onion, peppers and celery...tomatoes....you name it. It's so filling and so "light" in calories and fat!
Pretty goodby Kathryn on 7/13/2013
I am generally fine with soy products so someone else might find the 'meat' a little rubbery, but I was glad that there was more soy than pasta, actually.
Beware, it smells a little gross out of the package and looks a little gross prior to the second stir and microwaving, but once it's all done, the flavor is pretty decent for something like this.
Shhh I Found The Secret .....by Julie on 8/29/2013
Ok, so I have been eating this for quite some time, following the directions on the package. I convinced myself it wasn't so bad. I have had worse. Then, I found the secret to make this taste awesome! I poured the dried contents into my little plastic container, added the water, covered the container and put it in the refrigerator. I took it to work the next day. At break time, I removed the lid to cook it in the microwave at work. Imagine my surprise when I removed the lid and the noodles were already soft and the meaty stuff was all plumped up! I heated it as directed, and it tasted so much better! I couldn't believe it. P.S. It works for the soups too!
Filling and tastyby Nora on 9/2/2013
The first time I made this, I didn't have a deep bowl and it got all over the microwave. Needless to say, it wasn't very good. With a better bowl and proper preparation, this is a really filling meal that hits the spot.
A dandy treat!by Jane on 9/26/2013
This is my favorite pasta type dish! It conjures up the days of my eating copious amounts of cheesy-mac Hamburger Helper while in college! It's warm, satisfying and the portion doesn't leave you longing for more. My only wish is that I could eat it every day!
WonderSlim Cheese Steak Macaroniby Carole on 9/28/2013
Can't live without them....I make a whole box at a time...keep 'em coming!
Actually tastes like cheese steak!by Emily on 9/28/2013
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this dish was. I could almost imaging biting into a juicy cheese steak on a roll. Glad I tried it!
My favore mealby Kelley on 11/15/2013
My favorite meal of the day, I add some mushrooms and sauteed onions to it and then when finished cooking, pour a bag of bariwise cheddar cheese puffs on top, excellent together.
In my top 2by AuntKitty on 2/19/2014
I really like this meal. Just enough pasta to fulfill the craving without going overboard. The soy "meat" can take some getting used to, but is great when you do. I like to add a bit of hot sauce to this and eat with a side of sautéed veggies on the side. It makes for a filling and satisfying meal. I always keep this on hand. This one and vegetarian joe.
Surprisingly Goodby Denise on 10/9/2014
There were really good! I put in just the right amount of water and microwaved it. It was really good. I was thinking that it wouldn't be but it was! Very satisfying. Will try again.
OMG tastes just like a cheesesteakby Jill on 10/9/2014
I'm from near Philly and this stuff tastes just like the ones I get there. I just wish there was more in a portion (but I've learned to control myself!) Will definitely be re-ordering!
Great tasteby Megan on 10/16/2014
I enjoyed this - it cooked easily and thoroughly, and was soft enough for me to not worry about. Since this was a success, am looking at trying other flavors and products.
absolutely love thisby Patricia on 10/20/2014
i add more water than it says, then add Kroger cheese sprinkles (like zero cals) and more cayenne pepper and drink it like soup. i crave this.
Enjoyed!!!!by Neyda on 10/23/2014
Loved the flavor and texture. I was pleasantly surprised. So happy I tried it. Will mos def be reordering!
Love These!!by sm62 on 12/5/2014
The Cheese Steak Macaroni Lite Entrees are one of my favorites. Super tasty, blend well and ready to eat quickly, satisfying for a good while. A winnder!
Wowby roberta on 1/6/2015
Very good...much better than expected
YUMMY!by Judy on 4/20/2015
I really like this one. It is the most filling of all the lite entrees.
Very goodby Joann on 5/25/2015
I really like this. It beats Medifast Macaroni and cheese hands down.
Really good and fillingby Tiffany on 8/7/2015
Tried this for the first time. Cooked on stovetop for a few minutes. It was a little more "souoier" than it was supposed to be, but was very delicious. I put in a little chili bowl with 1t of fat free plain Greek yogurt and it was really good and I was pretty full when done.
Amazingly good!by Tiffany on 8/10/2015
I cooked this using the stove top directions. I then added sharataki tofu noodles and tossed in a cut up boca burger. Made a huge plate of food and was very filling.
One of my favorite mealsby Joann on 8/23/2015
I love the Cheese Steak Macaroni. It is one of my favorites and I always have this on hand. I was afraid to try it after tasting the horrible Medifast Macaroni and Cheese but the Wonderslim Cheese Steak Macaroni is tasty.
One of my favorite mealsby Joann on 9/4/2015
I eat WonderSlim Cheese Steak Macaron often. It tastes so much better than the Medifast Macaroni and Cheese. I always make sure that I have this meal on hand.
"Real" foodby Lyn on 7/18/2017
I very much enjoy this meal because it is like eating real food someone cooked, not just a shake or a bar. The meat is chewy like another reviewer said, but that's good IMO. Real meat is a little chewy too, with a similar texture. This makes a filling lunch even though it is a small portion.
greatby Carole on 1/13/2018
the best. don't change it.
Would buy again!`by gina on 3/22/2018
This is a tasty filling lunch item. Still wanted my afternoon snack but that is not a problem with the 5 a day meal plan. Don't touch the recipe.
Wonderslim Cheese Steak macaroniby LeeShannon on 3/22/2018
Love it! After having the medifast lite entrees for over a year and then trying this one, there is no comparison. For a small meal it sure fills you up and has great flavor, it feels like you are eating real mac and cheese and not a diet product, Love it!
Great Tasteby Reginia on 3/29/2018
I absolutely loved the taste of the cheese steak macaroni.
Not badby Webby on 2/26/2009
I had this w/ torilla's and it was really good. Very filling.
A good diet mealby bgirlsquirrel on 3/29/2009
The first of my little meals I have gotten into. I was really pleased with it. I tasted REALLY good, I may have added a bit more onion. Not overly cheesy. No strange aftertaste. The only thing that made this get 4 stars is the texture, but I think that might be my own personal preference.
Goodby Califgirl on 1/8/2010
This tastes pretty good overall, but I like the taste of the Cheese N Macaroni, just a bit better. Neither tastes like Diet Food, just gives you a small amount with lots of good protein.
Meal Goes from Average to Good with Just a Little Helpby jenniferlynne76 on 10/15/2010
My first bite of the Cheesesteak Macaroni was a little disappointing. It fell flat somehow. Not quite cheesy enough...beefy, but just lacking something. Then I realized it was just a little bland. I put a mixed a small pinch of sea salt into bowl and...YUM! Instant improvement! It literally took the dish from eh, I don't think I'd rush to get this again, to this is really good, and I can't wait to have the next time around.
The trick I've learned with the entree meals applies to this one as well: use boiling water in the first step to cut down on the microwave cooking time and improve the texture of the pasta and soy crumbles. 6 oz. of boiling water, mixed into the dry product and just 3 minutes on 50% in the microwave yielded a thick and tasty dish with soft noodles and much less rubbery steak.
With just a few minor adjustments this dish has happily made its way into my meal rotation.
Pretty Good!by KPT on 12/7/2010
I tried to cook one of these in the microwave in a mug, but it exploded all over my microwave long before the time was up (to be fair, I think this may have to do more with the physics of boiling liquid/insufficient surface area/my microwave), so, not to be deterred, I made it on the stove instead. I also added a little squirt of SriRacha (the asian hot sauce with the rooster on the front- it's very garlicky and delicious). I thought it came out quite well and will definitely order again. It was reminiscent of the inside of a Hot Pocket.
Good Stuffby Drea on 3/6/2011
Very tasty! I love the portion size to help me with my weight loss, yes it is a little bland but I just seasoned it up a little and it taste wonderful. I could eat this all week for lunch it is just delicious. It does not taste like the actual steak mac and cheese you would make at home but if you season it up a little to satisfy your taste buds you will not be disappointed.
Pretty yummy!by Angela on 5/16/2011
I like this product when I'm feeling the need to eat a meaty pasta. It's a small portion, but the flavor is good, and I try to eat it slowly to make it last.
Lacks Cheese Flavorby Amy4 on 7/4/2011
Very salty, lacks cheese flavor: takes some getting used to.
Cheese steak Pastaby missmary on 2/2/2012
I was really surprised that it tasted so good. Normally this type of diet food is very bland or leaves some type of aftertaste but this was very good. Easier to make at home versus the office.
Good.by EB on 2/7/2012
Good stuff. It's a little bland, so don't be afraid to jack it up a little with some black pepper or Tabasco. This is good, but I prefer the Spicy Cheese N Pasta just a bit more.
Cheese steak macaroniby Marie on 3/8/2012
It is really delicious, BUT...please add some paprika or some other colorful spice to it because the sight of it is not appealing at all!! I almost didn't taste it, but am glad I did. Still...it needs to appear better visually.
Not badby on 5/26/2012
I wouldn't say it tastes like a cheesesteak. It does remind me of cheeseburger hamburger helper. I add a little onion salt and garlic powder, and it's yummy. Without seasoning it's a little bland.
Nice tasty treatby lasq on 8/14/2012
I was sure I would like this when I saw what it looked like when it was cooking; but I can say this was a tasty and filling meal. I'm post bariatric and this was just the right amount of food for me - not too little, not too much. I cooked it at the office and everyone thought it smelled wonderful (it does!).
Decently Goodby Jen on 8/14/2012
This is a bit bland, but not in a bad way. More of a not spicy in the slightest way. Kind of like hamburger helper, plain. Know that the beef can't possibly be beef. I swear it tastes like seitan, which is fine with me, I like "mock" meat. I could be wrong, but that is what it tasted like to me. All in all, not bad. I will eat it again. It kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and would eat hamburger helper, only would use shredded seitan instead of beef. So, hey, I will take it! :)
not bad! very small servingby Jane on 10/24/2012
The serving is super tiny.. but its surprisingly filling. If you get used to doing a low carb diet with the wonderslim and bariwise stuff, you'll find it satisfying. Kind of tastes like hamburger helper.
Tastes like diet foodby Christina on 2/4/2015
Not the best tasting thing in the world, not the worst. If i'm really hungry and need something more than a protein shake, I throw one of these in and feel much better. It keeps me on track on my diet which is all that matters to me. Overall...B
Pretty goodby Kitty on 5/6/2015
Easy to make, flavor is good but slightly bland, I added a drop of hot sauce which made it better. Will order this again.
Microwave carefullyby Jane on 8/18/2016
If you take the time to mix it well it tastes like hamburger helper which I think is pretty good! If you have a high power microwave just check on it periodically and stir.
Meat chunks are oddby Sabrina on 7/7/2017
The flavor is actually quite great which is why I'll continue to eat this snack. I, however, won't reorder as WonderSlim has other, better entrees. This product has bits of 'steak' that to me is a tad strange. Ground rehydrated0 meat* is borderline ok, but chunks of meat* are just wrong. I also felt like this was slightly bland, so I add a pinch of salt (not something I'm happy to do!).

It was Okayby Shani on 7/21/2010
I liked the pasta and cheese portion of this entree. But I didn't like the Steak, the taste and texture weren't to my liking.
But overall it wasn't bad.
Adequate, but I wouldn't say GREATby PrincessDieter on 7/22/2010
I cooked this stovetop since other reviewers recommended that. I watched it the whole time to avoid overcooking. It was all right. The final serving is about a cup. The meat has a slightly odd texture, but not totally off-putting (chewy). The pasta was okay. The cheesiness was adequate. It's not something that made me gag and it's not an entree that made me go Oh, that as fun. It's merely adequate.
I am not sure at this point if I'd reorder. I'd have to wait and see how it grows--or doesn't--on me and how the other entrees strike me. BUT...it does have a nice filling quality given the quantity. I had it with a side of sauteed spinach, a boiled egg, a small wedge of cheese, and had a creamy pudding for dessert. I was full and got plenty of protein. By itself, I would not be satisfied, but I do think adding veggies as sides--or a salad--or adding some extra low-carb pasta would help oodles. If you LOVE cheesesteak, then definitely try it. There aren't that many entree options, and this seems to be one of the more highly regarded WonderSlim ones. I'd recommend it to those who know it's special high-protein diet food and are willing to base their taste expectations on that basis. Enjoy and be well.
Not too shabbyby mkejake on 3/9/2011
This is ok. It smells good, tastes alright. I tossed a little Lawry's seasoning salt in and it made a big difference. (I don't have and issues with sodium so I can) Still has a little bit of an aftertaste that is strange, but I didn't have to choke it down.
Will do in a Pinchby Mrs. B on 9/17/2011
I bought both the Spicy Cheese and Pasta and this one. I much prefer the Spicy Cheese and Pasta. This is alright just a bit bland. Better when I added salsa to it.
It was okby Cee Jay on 9/20/2011
It was ok...I was expecting more from the dish but I didn't.
Pretty goodby Tom on 12/3/2011
This is average IMO. The spicy cheese and pasta is much better. The texture of the TVP is not as good as the sloppy joe or the spicy cheese and pasta.
Goodby etvht on 3/12/2012
I think that the Cheese Steak Macaroni is good. It isn't great, but there is no weird aftertaste. As others have stated, it is bland but it isn't bad. You could add some spices to it to make it taste better, I don't bother though. The thing I don't like about it is the look of it, it looks pretty unapealing once cooked. I am eating it and I may order it again.
Not the greatestby Katelen on 8/12/2012
The beef in this makes it so disgusting. I bought this thinking by the reviews it would be a healthy choice. The texture/fllavor makes it hard to eat.
eh, is okby Amber on 6/27/2013
Not my favorite by any means, I like the Alfredo or Spicy cheese & pasta better, but it's edible. The texture is very weird....probably won't order it again. Might even add peas to it next time, make it more of a stroganoff type?
good flavorby Chris on 10/14/2013
I wish this was without YELLOW DYE. Also noticed that several Wonder Slim products contain "Dyes" and can it be removed from future products, please.
My very first replacement mealby Allyson on 10/19/2015
It's edible. I think that pretty much sums it up. The noodles are good, but the "meat" reminds me of cat food. Each bite, I sort of had to remind myself that it is good for me. Probably won't order this again.
yuckby Bonnie on 10/1/2008
Yuck. I will try on the stove next time, but so far...yuck
Odd texture; not enough macaroniby GrannyQ on 4/10/2011
This one is weird. The flavor is OK. But the texture is off. The meat is the problem; too much of it and it is just weird looking and a weird texture in the mouth. It is literally flaky, not granular, so it is odd. And there is not as much macaroni as I'd like. But it tastes OK.
Explodes!by Sherry on 9/11/2011
No matter what I do, it seems to explode in the microwave and most of it splatters out of the dish.
Disappointingby KellyRNMSN on 8/14/2012
Not nearly as good as the spicy cheese and mac or the cheesy mac or the alfredo. The "steak" bits taste odd to me and the whole dish is just bland.
Yuckby Cath on 12/4/2012
Even when I add some spices, it still tastes bad... But I have two boxes to eat, so I will try to add some other things to make it taste better... We'll see!
Not for me.....by Rosalind on 9/20/2013
I am a new WonderSlim customer. Considered going back on Medifast & decided to give WonderSlim a try. So far have only tried 3 products...Cheese Steak Macaroni, Spicy Cheese Pasta & Chili w/beans. Read reviews & followed advice to mix the Steak/Macaroni with water & allow to sit for an hour. Unfortunately, did not like the taste & will not reorder. Will reorder the Spicy Cheese Pasta. Of the 3, enjoyed the Chili w/beans the most. Mixed with some canned tomatoes & poured over shredded lettuce.....very filling & satisfying.
Not a favoriteby Darla on 11/8/2013
the texture of the "steak" leaves a lot to be desired, the noodles were good. I'm going to think of something to do with the rest of the box & will not re-order this
Noodles are good...by Angelina on 4/8/2016
Mixes up well, and it looks good, but the gag factor is strong with this one. I gave it two stars for the noodles.
It's edibleby Laura on 5/12/2017
Maybe I didn't cook it long enough, but the meat was very chewy. I won't be purchasing it again.

never again:(by jaci140 on 1/4/2011
Contrary to other reviewers, not good. This was so sadly disgusting....and I LOVE pasta, mac and cheese, macaroni (any type and yes the cheapo box ones included from the grocer). But not happy at all with this, threw out the rest of the box and went back to my bars/cereals/shakes for the supplements. Of every product I've tried, I can say that I have never thrown out the rest of a box of anything. At least I tried!
Did not like itby on 8/17/2011
I am a huge macaroni and cheese fan, but this had no taste. I did not like it at all. I could not taste any cheese, which I believe was the problem.
It's awful!!by rosie on 1/27/2012
I guess I don't agree with most other people here. I think it tastes awful. There is way too much of the soy crumbles. Maybe I need to add some flavoring to it. I will try that as I still have three boxes of it to eat. Maybe flavoring it with something will help. I love the chili and the veg. Joe, so I thought I'd like this.
NOT so much a favoriteby debsee on 3/2/2012
I tried this product for the benefit of having pasta, but unfortunately having pasta turned out to be very bland, no taste and very dis-satisfying. I have managed to put a little zest in it with the help of redhot, or salt and pepper, and fresh peppers and onions. I have decided to stick with the vegetarian joe.
Bad Tasteby Katie on 9/13/2012
Can't get over the flakey "steak" bits. I'll stick with the Cheesy Mac and Alfredo.
Yuckby Trudy on 9/14/2012
Nasty tasting hate to throw away money but won't eat. Too powdery tasting. Made me sick. Fixed only one pkg now have rest sitting in cabinet.
Awfulby Bama Girl on 11/4/2012
This taste awful. The meat in it just doesn't look very good either. The smell is really bad.
cheese steak macby amanda on 1/22/2013
terrible looks like dog food and taste the same
HORRIBLE!!by Nadia on 2/19/2013
I was really hoping to love this product! After 2 weeks of no carbs
and trying so hard -I thought I would reward myself with a low carb pasta entree! so I heated up as instructed the cheese steak macaroni!! Unfortunately, this product is an epic failure! the look,taste and smell are HORRIBLE! like another person said - DOG FOOD!
I am sorry wonderslim - I love almost all your products! but this was horrible!! the pasta and the cheese parts are decent, however, something about the meat part that has to change!!
Maybe take away the meat part and just flavor the sauce as a philly cheese steak sauce!! sloppy dog food! I regret buying this and wasting the money!! I hope the Alfredo is better tomorrow!!
Yuck!by Debbie on 5/3/2013
I Love most of the products but I really didn't like this. I think it was the texture. I love the Spicy Cheese and Pasta but not this!
Not so greatby olga on 5/15/2014
This is not a great meal. I followed the directions exactly & the dish turned out watery & messy. I have not tried to cook it again.
Gave me indigestionby Peggy on 3/23/2018
