About cheese-based meals

Cheese is a high-fat, high-flavor protein source in a lot of freeze-dried meals — mac & cheese, lasagna, alfredo, breakfast scrambles, and cheesy rice bowls. The meals in this collection are pulled in automatically because their ingredient list mentions a cheese ingredient. Always confirm on the actual package.

What to expect

  • Mac & cheese, lasagna, alfredo, cheesy rice
