Like others, I thought this recipe is a good start but needs help. I added more a little more cheese and some chopped onion and it still was a little bland. Next time I will add much more cheddar same amount of parmesan, more milk, 1 less egg, more salt and possibly some ground beef, stewed tomatoes and more onion. Thanks Daphanie for getting me started.

This is a good start for a recipe. I made it with twice the amount of the milk mixture, and i think almost three cups of cheddar. I also stirred the pasta with the milk mixture and poured that into the 8x8 dish, and then layered cheese, rather than layering the pasta and milk mixture seperatly. I recommend adding some of your own spices to the mixture - i used some white pepper and onion powder to give it a little more of a bite. I also topped it with bread crumbs to give some mixed textures. It turned out wonderfully, the most important thing to remember is you need LOTS of the milk mixture, twice as much as recommended, and LOTS and LOTS of cheese.

I think I will not add the eggs next time but it was good. Oh, I added a little more cheese. Good recipe!

"This is the best mac & cheese ever" I served it to 25 people at Christmas & they all wanted more, more, more. It must have been the sour cream? Thank you Daphanie.

I agree with many of the other reviewers who felt there was not enough cheese and/or sauce. I would recommend either using half the amount of macaroni this recipe calls for or doubling all the other ingredients. When doing this, I give the recipe a higher **** rating.

Yum! Perfect comfort food for a cold afternoon. I had thirds. For company, I'd probably stick with the "Allie's" Mac & Cheese recipe on this site (it's more time consuming though).

I made this for my in-laws for our Christmas Eve dinner and everyone loved it! I read some of the reviews beforehand (which I highly recommend) and decided based on those to use a smaller pan so that it would not dry out (I used a Corningware 2.8 liter dish). I didn't really measure the cheese but used I'm sure more than the original recipe called for. I also added bread crumbs to the top for a twist. I followed all the other measurements exactly. The sour cream component makes the difference I think. What I like about this dish is that it's more than just a cheese sauce you melt and pour over pasta as if it were from a box. It's a real old fashioned mac and cheese bake like the ones I grew up with--very cheesy, moist. And it didn't take that long to make. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe was great. I increased the sauce because it didn't look like enough. I added an extra egg, used a whole can (12 oz) of evaporated milk, and a 16 oz container of sour cream. I also threw in a tsp of garlic powder and lots of extra cheese. It was huge hit.

This was my first attempt at homemade macaroni and cheese. I was not sure of the size pan I should use, but chose 9x13. After adding the ingredients together, I could see that the sauce was not covering the macaroni, which did not seem right AT ALL! So, seeing this problem I created & added another sauce mix(sourcream,milk,egg,etc..) After mixing this, i got back on line to read the reviews... my recommendation is to always read reveiws first! then add ingredients! It is currently baking.. i will write tomorrow to tell you how it tastes.

This macaroni and cheese is soooo yummy. I prepare it often as a side dish but it also makes a great main course served with vegetables and cornbread. My five year old and three year old twins can't get enough of it. Plus, it's simple enough to make for lunch too.

this recipe came out a little bland and a little .... chunky. I went into this recipe very optimistically b/c i was searching for a mac and cheese recipe that included sour cream. I cooked in an 8x8 pan as suggested to keep it from drying out, but it came out lumpy, and with no distinguishable flavor... Add more cheese people if you want to make this work... a lot more cheese!

I baked this in a 9x13 inch pan and it came out very dry. It seemed too dry even before I baked it. I think it needs more milk and a lot more cheese. I used Sargento mild cheddar cheese and the whole thing tasted bland. If you like your macaroni and cheese rich, moist and cheesy, then this recipe is not for you.

My hubby and I just loved this recipe. It's quick and easy to make and very tasty. I think maybe the people that complained about it being too dry may have used a 9x13 pan. The recipe doesn't state what size to use so I made it in a 8x8 pan. I think a larger pan would cause the pasta to cook too quickly and become very dry.

My whole family loved this recipe. It wasn't dry at all and had a great flavor. I did add about a cup more grated cheese, though, because the one and half cups just didn't seem like enough.

Having never made macaroni and cheese from scratch before, I wanted to try a recipe that was relatively easy to make. This one hit the mark, and it was very tastey. A great recipe to make if you're looking for a traditional dish without a lot of extras.
