This was an easy recipe, and one of the best-tasting mac & cheese dishes I've ever had. Be sure to add PLENTY of salt, and cover the last layer with the evaporated milk mixture or pasta-water so it reaches about 1/4" over the last cheese layer. I cook this in a microwave on 70% power for 15 minutes, covered, and it comes out perfect. One of our new favorites!

This is pretty good, but I would use about half the amount of butter next time.

Made this as written except I only used 1/4 cup of butter to cut back on the fat. My wife, who hates Mac and cheese, thought it was very good. Will make this again!

Made this dish for dinner tonight. My boyfriend loved it!! I used a 1/3 c. margarine. It was still plenty rich and yummy. It was super easy to make too. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Sounds like a good midweek mac and cheese recipe but true southern mac and cheese recipes never begins with a processed cheese mix!!!

Chris, I made your recipe January 6th at a dinner celebration for what would have been my mama's 94th birthday party. Mama passed away in November. Friends and family raved about the mac and cheese, and there wasn't a spoonful left (I doubled the recipe). Mac and cheese was one of my mama's favorites. Anne-Marie

YUMMY! I needed a mac and cheese dish to take to a family Christmas lunch. I only had one box so I supplemented with additional noodles and doubled the other ingredients. Using what I had on hand I added 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack and extra shredded cheddar. I followed the suggestion by another reviewer and did not double the butter. Lots of compliments and everyone wanted a share of the leftovers! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was wonderful! I doubled the servings and made it for the first time for family on Chirstmas Eve. HIT! As, someone suggested...I too, reduced the butter down to 1/2 cup..I may possibly do even a little less next time. BUT, this is a keeper for our family now! Been waiting on a M and C recipe like this one!

Hey Chris, this is awesome mac and cheese, we love it here. Anyway only a few comments, we did a triple batch (obvously more then one of us), I'd recommend keeping the butter at a 1/2 cup its more then enough. We also used mozarella in addition to the cheddar, it was awesome. The families own personal favorite is lobster with the mac and cheese, but you sothern folks could definitely substitute crawfish, I know I would if I could get them. But just like the receipe says this is one awesome mac and cheese definitely 5 stars thanks for sharing Chris.

I googled a Mac & cheese receipt and yours looked easy and the reviews sold me. It was for a church group X-mas dinner. I doubled the receipt and could not wait to try. By the time I got to my Mac & cheese on the buffet my huge Casserole was about gone. Everyone was raving how good it was. Thanks Chris for posting. Oh, my wife was very skeptical on how good it could be. She apologized and agreed it was easy and a hit. "Dodged that bullet".
