This mac n' cheese was one of I had ever had! It wasn't really creamy but I like my mac n' cheese a little dry and heavily brown on the top but not brunt. Thats my preference but it didn't come out like that so I left it in a little.It was excellent, my father loved it and i was suprised because he only eats jamican food. I would most certainly recommend this recipie

To add a healthy kick without fuss, I swapped out 1/2 the pasta for cauliflower and half the breadcrumbs for wheat germ!

Don't really care for this. It was to dry for me. I followed the recipe exact but did not like it. I will keep looking for the ultimate mac and cheese.

I would give it 5 stars but the kiddos don't like it. As for the adults, I am asked to bring it everywhere I go. From work potlucks to friends dinner parties. Love this recipe.

Very tasty! I omitted the parmesan and instead added Beecher's smoked flagship cheese b/c that's what I had on hand. Also added a LOT of garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and mustard powder, cracked black pepper, and sliced shittakes. Instead of bread crumbs I ground up garlic and cheese croutons.

This was okay. Nothing special. My kids didn't like it but we adults ate it. It was a nice change but I probably wont make it again.

This recipe was excellent and easy to make. I also added extra cheese and used crakers instead of bread crumbs, as others did. I will make again and again.Thanks for passing it on.

This was very delicious. As other reviewers mentioned, I added some minced garlic to the cheese sauce and a little bit of salt and pepper so it would not be so bland. Also, don’t worry about the sauce being thin; it definitely thickens after you take it out of the oven. After I added the pasta and cheese sauce in baking pan I sprinkled grated cheddar cheese on top and pieces of bacon, then toped with panko bread crumbs....it was really tasty, when it came out of the oven!

I was looking for a recipe that doesn't require a fake cheese sauce and I stumbled across this one. I think it is a good basic recipe that will allow you to experiment. I made a few changes. For starters I only used 2 cups of milk, I like my mac and cheese not so creamy, and I used a blend of Sharp Cheddar cheese and Montery Jack. I added some garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper and parsley. Instead of elbow macaroni I used whole wheat rotini for some extra bite. I also layered some turkey pepporoni in the center which made it even more delicious and added some more flavor. I really like the idea of adding the toasted bread crumbs on top, I usually would put parmesan cheese on top and place it in the broiler for a crunch topping, but this is much better. Melting the cheeses before mixing it with the pasta is the key to success for this dish. I definitely will be making this again. Yummy!!!!

I used 2 cups macaroni and half the milk because everyone said it was too runny, but I didn't have that problem. The problem was the taste. It needs salt, and the parmesan makes it too grainy. Very bad recipe.

This recipe was o.k. but not as good as I had hoped. Made exactly as directed. Not a hit with my family so probably won't make it again. Want to try another mac n cheese recipe on here with cottage cheese instead.
