There are few foods more comforting than macaroni and cheese on a chilly fall day. I made a batch over the weekend, and every spoonful reminded me why it is one of my favorite cold-weather meals. Still, shredding the cheese, making the sauce, and getting that perfect topping just right takes time, and time is usually the thing we do not have on a busy weeknight.
Costco, of course, has an answer for that. Their grab-and-go options have always been a reliable dinner shortcut, but one just got a major upgrade. The deli is now offering a rich, creamy Lobster Mac & Cheese, and shoppers are here for it.
It’s priced at $6.99 per pound, which means a little over four pounds rings in just under $30, a surprisingly reasonable price for a hearty comfort meal loaded with real lobster.
Take a look at this decadent new dish in a TikTok from @costcohotfinds on November 15:
@costcohotfindsSooo cheesy
♬ original sound - CostcoHotFindsThis new meal looked nothing short of divine. That big tray of creamy mac and cheese was topped with generous chunks of lobster, which you could see spread across the top. While this grab-and-go option is pricier than Costco’s standard prepared meals, it is enough to feed at least four people, bringing each serving to under $8. That is still far less than most takeout, especially for anything involving lobster.

It also makes an easy, impressive side dish if you are hosting friends for a holiday dinner. Paired with steaks, it becomes a low-effort surf-and-turf that looks like you spent all afternoon cooking when you really just turned on the oven.
If you bring a tray home, heating it is about as simple as it gets. It can go straight into the oven in the same container it comes in. Just remove the lid, cover the top with foil, set it on a cookie sheet, and bake it until it is hot and bubbling all the way through, roughly 40 minutes depending on your oven.
Food Safety Tips for Reheating Prepared Dishes
Prepared dishes, including seafood-based meals, should be reheated to a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F, according to the USDA. Doing so helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness and ensures the dish is heated evenly through the center. Refrigerated leftovers should be eaten within 3 to 4 days, and anything left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be discarded.
Fans in the comments wasted no time sharing their excitement. @NatalieDean cheered, “Just told my husband I’m stopping at Costco after work tomorrow to pick this up to have with dinner!!”
Viewer @Ara asked, “And the lobster didn’t get overcooked?” but @CostcoHotFinds replied, “Not at all, I just kept it covered.”
Another user, @yousefaref, added, “First thing that comes to mind when I hear comfort food…lobster mac & cheese.”
A few people questioned whether it was real lobster, and @CostcoHotFinds reassured us all that it was.
