A lot of people don’t properly spice it or choose a good cheese blend for it. Mix some complimentary cheeses, I like gruyere, gouda, and cheddar sharp enough to puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea, then include some mustard powder, spicy and smoked paprika, fresh ground pepper, and whatever other pungent spices your soul yearns for. Top it with panko fried in butter and too much garlic.
Or you just don’t like the stuff. But yeah a lot of people make it basically flavorless
I’ve made the “original” recipe from Thomas Jefferson’s chef, and it was better than most I’ve had simply because it’s a proper bechamel sauce base. Most people just throw cheese on buttered noodles with no spices or hopes or dreams or love in their hearts.
100% agreed. The reason the box stuff is good is because the cheese is powdered. I think I’ve had good, homemade stuff once ever.

Oh jeez I didn’t even consider some people may skip the bechamel
Some people skip everything except literally the macaroni and cheese, and poorly cook the macaroni.
