Popular processed cheese brand Velveeta has reimagined the way of selling cheese-based products. It has recently introduced football-shaped and cheese macaroni for instant dinner.

Besides the brand, the news about the new product spread through online sites and food bloggers like Markie Devo. Devo shared the news on Instagram, writing that they waited for 30 to have a fun time with food.

As seen in the post, the box has a bright yellow shade with ‘Velveeta Shapes & Cheese’ written in the center. The Mac & Cheese box has a net weight of 10 oz or 283 gm. The words ‘Made with real cheese’ are written on a small soccer ball.

The football-shaped Mac & Cheese is available at Target, Walmart, and Amazon. As seen on Target, the food item is priced at $3.69.

According to Allrecipes, this was the first time the processed cheese brand ventured into introducing shaped pasta. Velveeta's football-shaped Mac & Cheese box includes pasta shaped like footballs, helmets, and goalposts, paired with a cheese sauce packet containing the brand’s signature melty orange cheese.

With the launch of this new food product, pasta and football lovers seem to have a gala time. Here are some reactions that Instagram users shared.

“I'm gonna try it just because these shapes are awesome.”
“We need an excuse to play with our food? Just in time for the BIG game.”
“Cute concept. They could do a heart shaped one next. Also do like Velvetta with Rotel collab in single cups.”

How to make Velveeta’s football-shaped Mac & Cheese?

According to the official website, this pasta is crafted with real cheese and stands out among the fan-favorite items. Each box offers approximately two servings of rich, cheesy indulgence. It can be a perfect companion for game day or any occasion. The football-shaped Mac & Cheese delivers the irresistible creamy goodness that fans adore.

To make Velveeta's football-shaped Mac & Cheese, the football-shaped pasta needs to be boiled as instructed. Then, it must be drained and mixed with the cheese sauce. The empty box can also be used as a goalpost for a tabletop football game, as recommended by the brand. This challenge can be a fun activity to try out with friends and see how many field goals one can score.

In December 2024, Velveeta posted an interesting cake pop recipe on Instagram, which the brand claimed was better than sugar cookies. To make the cake pops, one needs to make the cake batter and bake it according to the instructions.

Then, it must be allowed to cool completely. After that, the cake has to be broken into fine crumbs using one’s hands. This mix needs to be poured with melted Velveeta along with a small amount of vanilla frosting to get the right balance.

Lastly, one can shape the mixture into balls, dip them in melted chocolate, and decorate as desired. Store the pops in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
