Where did you find one? Haven't seen one in stores in over a year. One website says discontinued in 2021

Just sneakin' around....
Haven't looked recently, but the last place I did see one was in Giant, in the freezer case in the far back corner with the frozen burgers and pies.
And yes, apparently discontinued.

We had that a lot growing up. I still bought it occasionally for my family but the ex hated it. The kids liked it. I looked for it not long ago and couldn't find one.

With or without peas?
We had it on the Thanksgiving table this year and I passed, even though it was homemade from scratch. Too many choices and not enough stomach, not even for me.
But I've always like MnC with ground beef mixed in.
With BACON. NOT Cream of Mushroom. Agreeing with the poster, CoM does not make a meal better.Green bean casserole?
I don't care if it's boxed or home made. A glop of noodles and cheese grosses me out.
I can't even imagine Tuna in Mac n Cheese. And I love them both!A Friday staple during Lent ... with Le Sueur Baby Peas
Mom would also put in a can of Tuna .....
We lived in Italy for a lot of my elementary school years on a E5 budget and family of 5.
Even tho we lived off base, we didn't eat out a lot and most meats were NOT bought locally, as meat storage was different in the late 60's over there. We DID shop local for bakery, fresh produce and deli meats, though!
We ate out occasionally and THAT was pizza, of course. My mom was the seafood eater and she def enjoyed the fresh seafood, but we only cooked frozen scrimps at home.
Commissary shopping was every 2 wks and we froze our milk, along with a bunch of other things. Staple meals were typical for the times, I think. We had stuffed peppers a LOT, tacos, spaghetti, (though our tomato sauces were the BOMB over there!!) chili. My mom also made icky LaChoy Chow Mein and I didn't eat on those nights. To this day, I get PTSD just thinking about it.

both of them had peas, the gravy also had carrots.
A couple years ago my Mrs. made baklava to bring as dessert when we were invited to our neighbor's house for Thanksgiving dinner.
His sister would not eat it because it wasn't made with vegan "butter."

The beverage brand, Aura Bora, first released the canned drink last year and after a positive response from customers, it's now re-releasing the bizarre concoction.Green bean casserole?
"We did green bean casserole because we felt like turkey and gravy should be illegal and green bean casserole felt a little more approachable," Paul Voge, CEO and co-founder of the California-based company, told FOX Business.
Quirky green bean casserole flavored drink re-released by sparkling water brand
One company has re-released a beverage inspired by a classic holiday dinner side dish and it is a flavor that could certainly raise some eyebrows. Would you try it?
Just to clarify - ground beef and mac and cheese - AND green beans?And a can of french style green beans.
When I was in grad school - I did used to add jalapenos to my ground beef/MnC mix - just to keep nosy roommates from eating it.
