You are correct when you say this is the ''Classic Mac & cheese''. I too grew up eating it like this at the supper table in the South during Thanksgiving and Christmas and all super's in between. This was the way my family has always made it. I have ventured and tried other recipes made with a flour roux and didn't care for it as much as this classic.

We really liked this! I 1/2'd the macaroni (b/c we are a small family), used the full amount of cheese, which I shredded--1/2 sharp cheddar, and 1/2 mild). I used 3/4 of the can of milk. I also used some bread crumbs on top and cooked at 350 for about 40 mins. Turned out great--even my extremely picky husband liked it.

My kids loved this. Ate it all up and added it to our list of favs. I did mix it half way through cooking so it wouldn't get hard on top.

This mac & cheese was good, but still a little bit drier than I was looking for.

this was delicious the only thing i would add is to season the pasta with garlic powder, seasoning salt {lawreys} ground black pepper. use an egg and for butter i cant believe its not butter. that butter is delicious. also i didnt drain the pasta cuz it can become dry. leavn the water makes it creamer.

I made according to recipe and didn't have any problems with it being dry. I did halve the reciped as there is only two of us. Big mistake, making it tonight and will make full batch! Boyfriend gave a great review and he makes his own mac & cheese!

This was an interesting change from my usual mac n cheese (which involves a flour/butter roux). I had leftover fettucine noodles and frozen evaporated milk cubes, so I thought, let's try it. I didn't have cheddar; instead I used a mixture of Swiss and Monterey Jack. I sprinkled a little ground mustard on top of my noodles when I sprinkled the pepper & salt on. I also made a bread crumb & bacon topping, because it just isn't mac n cheese to us without that. The evaporated milk cooked into a sort of white custard that was noticeable, though not unpleasant. The chunks of custard are something I have always tried to avoid in my mac n cheese recipes and for that reason I'm unlikely to make this particular recipe again. It is also my opinion that "salt and pepper to taste" on noodles you'd probably rather not taste in their sauceless state is a bit too vague for most cooks. With that said, this is a great base recipe to start off from--but I think a novice cook would be better served with another, more specific recipe.

This was just the recipe I was looking for! I can't say I'm reviewing THIS recipe, in all fairness. I didn't use evaporated milk, instead I used fresh whole milk. And I like to use various cheeses (Monterey Jack and New York Extra Sharp, plus a little American) but it was just the recipe I needed to make my own changes to. I did put it in a 3 qt. casserole dish like another reviewer suggested and it was perfectly sized with no bubbling over. I made a roasted chicken to go with it and was surprised no one even touched it! The best part had to be the zombie-like "I'm so full" stares from the whole family who normally is so chatty during dinner but tonight they were oddly quiet while shoveling in this delicious mac n cheese as fast as they could. Thank you Cordi Tierno for a recipe I'm sure I'll be making often this winter!

This is the best homemade, baked mac n cheese that I've ever made. This was actually creamy and I liked it. I cut the recipe in half.

Not quite as good as my regular mac & cheese recipe, but it's a close second and much easier and faster to prepare. I used shredded cheddar instead of slices and sprinkled buttered bread crumbs on top.

Great recipe! Adults loved it as much as the kids. I changed a couple of things...I doubled the cheese and used Velveeta only. I doubled the milk and baked for 1 hour on 350. Perfect!!

To me, there's two kinds of mac and cheese: the firm, drier kind, and the creamy kind. When I tried this recipe, I got a firm, drier result. That's fine, but I wish I'd read the reviews first - it definitely needs more cheese and a lower baking temperature. Mine is extremely crisp on the top and sides, but the middle is moist and firm. I might try this again, but I'll probably use one can of evaporated milk, then a can of regular milk.. and I'll double the cheese and use half sharp/half medium cheddar. It could also use a bit of onion. It's easy enough that it's worth messing around with.

Maybe it's because I made it the night before, but...this recipe was not all it was cracked up to be for me. The cheese was definitely NOT creamy, but rather clumpy. The flavor was fine but not fantastic. I'll keep searching for a mac n cheese recipe....
