Paula Deen Has Her Own Line Of Mac and Cheese
Posted on July 28th 2010 by Jillian Madison

FNH reader Shari found these packages of Paula Deen Shells & Bacon at a H-E-B in Texas. I know Paula Deen has her name on half of the products currently being sold on this planet, but when did she get her own mac & cheese? Can discounted defibrillators at K-mart really be that far behind?

    Wow, how much money does this woman need??? She’ll slap her name on anything!

      My husband bought the Paula Deen Savory Cheddar Shells & Bacon from HEB last week. When he made it for me, the bacon packet was not included in the package. I looked all over the package for contact information, but there is none. Funny it says it is manufactured by Quality Food Brands. What a joke. Quality was missing, big time. Won’t buy again.

  2. Daria says:

    It is totally ridiculous. She has furniture, reading glasses, cookware, knives, dishes, and all sorts of food products. Plus a magazine, books, restaurants, two TV shows….

    I’d spend the extra 10 cents and buy the Annie’s mac and cheese and if i wanted to buy $4 bacon to add to it!

    I saw this advertised on TV last night

    • old unkajoe says:

      IIRC, Paula signed a deal with Linens ‘n Things right before they filed for bankruptcy and went out of business. This is probably the merchandise they had at the time.

  5. Tyler says:

    OK, first let me say — at the risk of extreme taunting and humiliation — that I am a Paula Deen fan. HOWEVER, I liked her MUCH more before she became a corporation. Over time, she’s seemed to have gotten louder and goofier-acting, and about 75% of her products on the market, well, suck. I just wish she’d go back to the early days of Paula’s Home Cooking when she was a bit more down to earth and homey.

    • laura says:

      I’ve said the very same thing, as well. She started going down hill with the “Paula’s Party” show, since that is when she became a louder, dirty old lady and her food hit a whole new level of “heart attack on a plate”. She has become a joke and seems to be poud of it, as long as she is making the big bucks. But then again I use to like Rachael Ray back in 2004, now I want to scratch her eyes out every time she says EVOO (then explains it), kids and super simple supper.

      • Mystie says:

        Yes, I think most of the FN hosts were bearable, perhaps even likable, before they all became caricatures of themselves. (Except for Guy Fieri, he’s always been insufferable. Oh, and Aunt Sandy, I’ve never liked her.) I enjoyed the early years of Paula’s, Rachael’s, Giada’s, Ina’s shows, and now I have zero interest. There’s such a thing as overexposure, and Paula and Rachael definitely reached that point about 2,000 products ago!

      • Daria says:

        Yep, it is like FN has just corrupted them all.

  6. Andra says:

    She’s like Martha Stewart for the Lipitor set.

  7. Vivica says:

    How can a person who calls themselves a cook put their image on macaroni and cheese IN A BOX?!

  8. FuryOfFirestorm says:

    In just a few short years, PD went from a nice, down-to-earth cook and mother to a silly, loud, crass, sell-out and embarassing Southern stereotype. Money changes everything!

    • AbacoPeach says:

      I couldn’t have said it any better!

      Even though she still talks about her “lean” days, when she first started out on FN, she was making a killing with her restaurant in Savannah. She certainly wasn’t doing her show from a duplex in South Georgia. Her stove alone was worth thousands!

      I have pretty much lost any respect I had for her when she first started. I hate to say it but I hope all this GREED bites in her and her “empire” in the ass one of these days!!!

  9. Lana says:

    What boggles me is that there isn’t a line of Deen butter and mayonnaise. I mean, really, that should have been product #1.

  10. krosstx10 says:

    I wonder if this product is overpriced and craptastic like her pies she was selling thru Walmart during the holidays. Those were the worse pies I’ve ever tried in my life! I actually took one back and got my money back. Couldn’t even eat it. Doesn’t she also have mattresses that have her name on them? After seeing her and Jersey Shore on the CMT video awards I don’t have much use for her anymore. She has turned into a dirty mouth old lady.

  11. Veronica says:

    Ha ha, I saw this stuff in a Big Lots yesterday – along with Emeril’s “Mellow Yellow Mustard”!

  12. jvwalt says:

    How much airbrushing did they do on that photo? There’s actually SPACE between Paula’s cheeks and her hair. The last time she was that thin, had to have been several tons of butter ago.

  13. Scoobie-Doobie-Doo says:

    Ol’ Pauler is a little too much like my MIL. Goes from Prude to Filthy Mouthed and back again in .00015 seconds. Like no one would notice! And when my MIL married a little money and didn’t have to “work” for it, her cooking skills went the way of Pauler’s too — canned, boxed, BS on a plate. Pretty sad, really.

  14. For the record, this stuff is bland and disgusting, and has already turned up on the shelves of my local Big Lots closeout store.

  15. LaLa says:

    Leave it to Pauler to make an unhealthy dish (Mac ‘n Cheese) even MORE unhealthy by adding bacon! Can’t imagine how much sodium it contains… probably a whole days worth in 1 serving!

  16. Carrie says:

    It’s not that hard to make a real mac and cheese at home from scratch.

  17. oh_come_on says:

    Does it have her recipe for deep-fried mac-n-cheese? I saw her make it — heart-stopping fare!

    • Scoobie-Doobie-Doo says:

      Seriously! Or maybe the dessert recipe is her Bread Pudding made from a box of Kripsy Kreeme donuts, fruit cocktail and sweetened condensed milk. You can’t make this crap up, folks, it’s one of Pauler’s actual recipes!

  18. anya says:

    they have this at my local big lots all the time. right next to rows and rows of “essence of emeril” spice blends.

  19. merijoe says:

    Shells and Bacon? really?

  20. Kira says:

    oh god it’s first thing in the morning and that mac & cheese is the grossest thing I’ve ever seen. I think I’m going to barf, and that doesn’t come easily as I used to be the one making *other* people sick first thing in the morning (when I worked on a boat – lol). Maybe someone can eat it and post on one of the new websites, hmm?

  21. JT says:

    OK, the pic is LOL-worthy, but I’m kinda surprised at the comments on here by people who are shocked/appalled at the bacon-and-mac-and-cheese aspect. Velveeta’s been doing the exact same thing for YEARS — I remember seeing their version on the shelves in the early 90′s. It’s not really a new concept, LOL.

  22. W says:

    Paula Deen Mac & Cheese? No thanks, I can make my own vomit.

  23. ceph says:

    And she just now said on her show that no box of macaroni and cheese will ever be as good as homemade. :P

    • HakunaFritatta says:

      I must inject here that boxed and homemade mac ‘n’ cheese are two distinct critters. Both have a valid place.

  24. Rose says:

    Great, now Paula can finally solidify her role in the obesity epidemic in the US!! These food network hosts have stopped cooking and have just focused on their next career move, selling their souls!!!

    Can we just get a regular chef please!
