I would have rated this more stars if I could.. LOL. My very picky g'daughter loved this version of mac and cheese!! She requested left over the next day. I did not add the veggies or bacon, just did the basic of butter, flour, milk, and cooked noodles. I also added dry mustard, salt, and pepper as another cook recommended! Excellent!

I didn't do the bacon because it just seemed like an ick thing to do. It was good, but not amazing. If I could do one thing over again it would be no garlic. It was a weird combo with the creaminess.

It was a little bland for me, next time I make it I will add sharp cheddar and maybe some more mustard powder. Overall it tasted good and great for a family!

This is a super recipe! The more I make it, the better it gets. I have never had a problem getting the sauce to the right consistency. I put all the cheese in the sauce and put extra on the top. I also put salt & pepper in the sauce and use turkey bacon, instead of pork. I like to broil the cheese on top for a few minutes until it is golden brown. Excellent recipe - definitely a keeper!

This was very good! I used canadian bacon, more garlic, and omitted onions. My husband doesn't like them. I baked it for double the time, as I didn't want it too creamy. It was crunchy on top, which i loved! I would definitely make this again!

My fave mac and cheese! I have made this a good few times now, the more you make it the better it tastes. Be sure to take you time doing the cheese sauce it can be runny if you rush!

I really liked this recipe...I did make some changes tho, you do have to WAIT a while, let the milk almost boil! I also added a diced fresh tomato and some green chilis to give it a little extra zest and ommitted the bacon.

I used less cheese to reduce fat content - and added tomatoes as suggested by another reader. Why kids prefer KD is way beyond my comprehension - it was delicious!!! Will be using this at my next pot luck - that's if it makes it out the door from my house untouched!

This recipe is just great! I made it for my mother's surprise birthday party last week and received thumbs-up from everyone. All said it was marvelous. A few of them even hurried me for the recipe. I improvised by substituting the bacon with button mushrooms, however, as there were vegetarian guests as well. I was very worried when the sauce became very gooey but i followed the advice of SLOWLY putting in the milk and it turned out perfect. Thanks!!

It was ok. i cooked the onion and garlic in the bacon grease, which may of made the mac'n'cheese too greasy. I also added a bit more cheese, that could of made it greasy also. Not as creamy as I would of liked it.

I haven't made baked mac n cheese in a long time and honestly didn't have a good reipe for it anymore. This one works great! I followed the recipe and added a few extra spices (black pepper, seasoned salt) an it came out perfect. I did have to bake it for about 25 minutes to get the cheese to brown on top and ended up turing on the broiler for a minute to crisp up the cheese (yum) My boyfriend and I both loved it. It was even better the second day for lunch reheated!

This is a good basic recipe. Instead of bacon, I used some diced ham. I love onions, so I browned and slow cooked a large vidalia until it was translucent and added that to the garlic. On the top I sprinkled some italian bread crumbs, a tiny bit of old bay (i don't exactly know why, it just struck me as I looked through my cabinet..lol) and it turned out really good. I used a combination of shredded provolone, swiss lorraine and a tiny bit of american cheese. It was different, but good. The white american cheese, which I normally think is flavorless and do not ever buy, made it really creamy and assisted the other stronger flavors. Try it, you might like it..lol.

This is a staple in our house, I never really liked mac and cheese until I tried this recipe. I add a little dijon mustard and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the roux for a little extra flavor, and I omit the bacon. Great recipe.
