We doubled the sauce and cheese like other reviewers recommended. Best homemade macaroni and cheese I have ever had.

I've used this recipe a few times now with great results each time. I adjust it slightly but overall this is a great base to use and a wonderful starter. I add Velveeta as a previous review suggested and I scale it down a bit because it's just my husband and I, but I use the same amount of evaporated milk and sour cream.

I made this for Thanksgiving and it wasn't too greasy and it was one of the better dishes I made.

I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. The flavor is there, but I should have read through the reviews before attempting. This version lacked moisture and the 'creamy' factor. If I had to redo it, I would definitely add more evap milk and some Velveeta. I reheated the macaroni in the oven which dried it out even more. My brother-in-law even teased me about it and dubbed it Macaroni Meatloaf, yet he had two servings. Not bad but could be better.

Was nervous about making homemade mac & cheese since I never had! I made it for Thanksgiving this year for the 1st time and it turned out wonderful! Is definitely a keeper and will be made again!!

This was very strong tasting. I added extra cheese and only 12 ounces of macaroni. I served it as a main dish, but would serve it as a side dish next time. I loved it, but husband didn't mind it.

This was quite a yummy baked mac and cheese! After reading other reviews, I cut the pasta down (used about 2 cups of whole wheat elbow) and kept the sauce ingredients as is except only used 1 egg. I think even doing this, I could have either used a bit less pasta or increased the sauce a bit. I ended up mixing fresh parm with fresh bread crumbs to the top and baked it covered for 30 min and then uncovered for 10-15, also omitting the butter. Great recipe, will try again with more sauce or less pasta!

I thought this recipe was terrible. You think mac and cheese is good comfort food, but I really didn't like this recipe. I added italian bread crumbs on top, and my family said that was the best part. I don't plan to make this again.

This is really good! I will make this again! I will leave the butter out next time because as the cheese cooks, it seems to make its own "grease". I may leave out 1 egg next time too. How can this be creamier? Maybe adding more sour cream? I did add extra cheese too. Pretty good! Ive never used Parmesean in Mac & Cheese, what a great surprise! Great Job! :O)

Yeah - 5 stars from me! After reading your reviews, I added 1/2 onion and microwaved it with the 2 tbsp butter. I added dry mustard, a touch of cayenne pepper. As some of you suggested, I added a whole can of milk and doubled the cheese. I served 50 servings of this at our soup kitchen. They loved it and no one said "where's the meat?" Thanks for everyone's help in taking a good recipe and making it awesome!

I thought this was really good - a tangier spin on regular baked macaroni and cheese. I was out of evaporated milk so I used extra regular milk which made the sauce runnier than I think it would've been if I had followed the recipe exactly. I did use a little extra cheese on top. Will definitely make this again.

This was a good baked macaroni and cheese dish. I didn't run into any problems backing this. I even used a 9x13 pan to bake this in and it still turned out good.

I followed the recipe except I used about 3/4 of the pasta. I think most people expect it to be a cheesey sauce but it really is a baked dish so it's not going to be exactly like a traditional mac n' cheese. The left overs were great reheated!

This was delicious BUT I made a lot of modifications. Following other reviews, I doubled the sauce part and tripled the cheese. I even had to take out some of the macaroni because there wasn't enough sauce to make it as cheese as I like. I used some chedder, pepper jack & gorgonzola. I mixed it all together instead of layering. I mixed in breadcrumbs with the parmesean cheese. I added white pepper, garlic powder & onion powder. I also mixed in a lot of jalapeno peppers & a little bit of juice. My boyfriend is a jalapeno fiend. The result is delicious! If you're expecting stovetop mac & cheese w/ processed cheese...this isn't the recipe for you! This is BAKED mac & cheese! I will add this to my notebook of recipes to make again!
