Arby's White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese
Creamy white cheddar macaroni and cheese.
About the White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese
Arby's White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese is priced at $4.19 and carries 470 cal, a creamy side listed on the Arby's sides menu. The official description reads creamy white cheddar macaroni and cheese, and the dish sticks to that promise without extras or toppings.
White cheddar tastes different from the orange boxed kind. It is sharper and nuttier, with a tangy edge that keeps the sauce from tasting flat. Here the cheese coats tender macaroni in a thick, velvety sauce that clings to every curve. The color stays ivory instead of bright yellow. A spoonful feels heavy and smooth, closer to a homemade stovetop mac than a baked casserole.
The numbers back up the comfort food label. Arby's lists 17 grams of protein, 27 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 40 grams of carbs and 1,310 milligrams of sodium. Anyone checking White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese calories will notice it lands close to a light sandwich on its own. That makes it a side you plan around, not one you add on autopilot.
The White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese price at the Central Texas store we trackis $4.19, more than a small order of fries but still well below a sandwich. Local franchise boards set their own prices, so your store can differ a little.
Who gets the most out of it? Kids who skip anything green, adults who want comfort food on a cold evening, and anyone pairing a lighter protein with a heavier side. It also works as a meatless snack, since there is no meat in the description, and it holds heat well in the cup for a short drive home. Order two and split them over a plate of chicken and you have a quick family dinner with very little cleanup.
Arby's also serves white cheddar mac and cheese as the base of the Steak 'n Mac Bowl, a sign of how well it carries savory meat. For a simple pairing, order it next to the Chicken Tenders 3PC so you can drag a tender through the cheese sauce. It also balances the thin sliced beef of a Classic Roast Beef, turning a quick sandwich into a full plate.

How to Make White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese at Home?
Stovetop white cheddar mac and cheese is ready in about 25 minutes and tastes creamier than baked versions. A simple butter and flour roux keeps the sauce smooth and stops the cheese from turning grainy.
Ingredients
Pasta
Cheese sauce
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese.
Tips
- • Grate the cheese from a block; bagged shredded cheese contains anticaking starch that makes the sauce gritty.
- • Keep the heat low once the cheese goes in, since boiling breaks the sauce and makes it oily.
- • Warm milk blends into the roux faster and with fewer lumps than cold milk.
Variations
- • Stir in sliced roast beef or chopped steak for a homemade steak and mac bowl.
- • Top with buttered breadcrumbs and broil for 2 minutes for a crunchy crust.
- • Mix in steamed broccoli florets for a fuller one pot dinner.
Serving Ideas
Serve as a side with roast beef sandwiches or chicken tenders, or as a main with a green salad. Reheat leftovers with a splash of milk over low heat.
