Favorite lazy meal

Back to Trader Joe's for my favorite lazy meal - Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese:

You'll be scraping the cheese out of the groves in the plastic tray in no time.

I'm not a big fan of microwave lunches or meals in general. They tend to be overly salty and underly satisfying. But this simple meal has managed to make me a fan. It's got 22% of my "daily value" of sodium, which is about 1/5, which is about just fine. The fat is not out of control. Not quite enough calories to stand alone as "dinner", but I'll forgive that. The 15 grams of protein are very welcome, and with just 4 g of sugar, I'm happy with this nutritional profile. I also like that I'm not asked do a 2-step microwaving operation. I'm way too lazy for that.

Serving suggestion: Once I was dog/house sitting and I had made some stovetop mac and cheese. These people had a dried garlic grinder... so I added some of this garlic and some black pepper. OMFGGGFG this was good. I have yet to have a dried garlic grinder fall in my lap so I just add some garlic powder and fresh black pepper after microwaving before mixing.
