About the Steak 'n Mac Bowl
Two comfort foods share one container in the Arby's Steak 'n Mac Bowl, which costs $10.49 and comes to 680 cal. Arby's sets tender, smoky steak nuggets on top of creamy white cheddar mac and cheese, adds a sprinkling of crispy onions, and includes a choice of sauce.
Think of it as a barbecue joint side plate turned into a main course. The white cheddar mac is smooth, cheesy and a little sharp, with soft pasta that holds plenty of sauce. Steak nuggets sit on top, each one smoky, seasoned and slow cooked until it falls apart under a fork. Their savory juices drip down into the pasta, so the mac picks up a beefy note as you eat. The crispy onions are the finishing touch, adding a salty crunch and a toasted onion flavor that keeps every bite from feeling one dimensional.
The look is simple and inviting: a pale, creamy base, dark glossy cubes of beef scattered across it, and a golden scatter of onions on top. Texture runs from silky pasta to tender meat to crunchy topping in a single spoonful, which is a big part of why bowls like this are so satisfying.
Nutrition is a pleasant surprise for something this rich. The bowl carries 37 grams of protein, more than the Steak 'n Potato Bowl, and it lands lower in calories than that potato sibling. Anyone weighing Steak 'n Mac Bowl calories against a cheesesteak will find it lighter than any of the half pound subs, too.
On price, the bowl matches the potato version at the Austin, Texas location we use, though your store can differ. It makes sense for a cozy dinner on the couch, a lunch that needs a spoon instead of two hands, or anyone who would normally order a side of White Cheddar Mac 'n Cheese and wish it had meat in it. Kids who love mac and cheese and adults who want steak can both find something to like.
The sauce choice is worth a moment of thought. A tangy or sweet sauce cuts through the rich cheese, while a creamy one doubles down on comfort. Try it on the steak nuggets rather than mixing it into the pasta, so the white cheddar flavor stays clear.
This bowl lives on the steak nuggets and bowls menu. For a sweet finish, add a Cherry Turnover, or grab an Unsweet Tea to balance the cheese.

Ingredients
Pressure cooker steak nuggets
White cheddar mac
Crunchy finish
Steps
All steps done. Enjoy your homemade Steak 'n Mac Bowl.
Tips
- • Grate the cheddar from a block; bagged shreds contain starch that makes the sauce grainy.
- • Keep the cheese sauce off direct heat once the cheddar goes in so it stays silky.
- • Add the onions at the table so they stay crunchy.
Variations
- • Use a mix of white cheddar and Monterey Jack for a milder, stretchier sauce.
- • Bake the assembled bowls at 400°F for 10 minutes for a browned top before adding the onions.
- • Swap elbows for cavatappi so the pasta holds more sauce.
Serving Ideas
Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted broccoli to cut the richness. Unsweetened iced tea or sparkling water works well alongside.
