I wanted this for a side dish, so, I left out the Kielbasa. My husband has an onion allergy, so that was omitted as well. I added extra cheese on top of the macaroni and then sprinkled panko bread crumbs on top of that and then baked it. Excellent!

yum! I used extra sharp cheddar and substituted ham for the kielbasa. Very easy and delicious and is a recipe that can be easily modified/varied.

This was DELICIOUS! My nickname is also Cheese, so I just had to try this recipe when looking for the perfect homemade mac & cheese. I used hot dogs and didn't use a full pound because I didn't want to be overwhelmed. It was the perfect ratio. I substituted panko for bread crumbs and didn't measure it out, only sprinkled it over the top with some parmesan cheese. Also, only used 1/2 an onion and it was the perfect amount of flavor. I'm thinking of adding a little bit of garlic and peas the next time. A cooking note - when I was whisking in the flour & milk, I had to turn the burner up to at least medium because my pan is really thick aluminum and it was not getting up to a simmer. I can't wait to make this again! Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff! Thanks for the recipe! A couple reviews said it could be cheesier, so I used 12 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, but really it was more because I didn't want to store 2 oz of cheese. It was plenty cheesy.

Good base recipe. Used leftover rotisserie chicken in place of sausage and added broccoli. Per other reviewers added some garlic. Used crushed up Ritz crackers on top in place of bread crumbs. Could have used a bit more sauce/liquid (will do that next time). My 2 yr old loved it!

A bit bland but if you add a touch of garlic it's great. Also since my wife won't eat keilbasa I added a pound of hamburger. Made for a good meal. Thank you!

At the time I had to use cooked hot dogs instead of kielbasa sausage. I added two cloves of garlic (minced) and just cooked it in with the onion (used only 1/4 onion). Also I shredded the cheese, not cubed. My boyfriend LOVED it though. It's hard for me to impress him considering he and his parents are all cooks! Lol
