Enjoyed this very much. My son said "it's not as good as KD"... but he's just not used to the real thing! He did finish off a giant portion quite happily. I think it's a texture issue. This mac & cheese was a bit dry. Another reviewer called it "cheese-flavoured macaroni" and I agree-- I'd like it a bit saucier. So next time I'd either increase the sauce or reduce the noodles. Or perhaps use 2 c. of milk instead of 1 1/2. The sauce was delicious. I sauteed the onion (a LARGE one) for about 15 minutes so it was nice and golden. I used 1/4 tsp. each of salt, pepper, dry mustard and worcestershire sauce for seasoning. And the cheese was a really tasty extra-old cheddar. I used the tiny bow-tie noodles since I didn't have macaroni on hand. I added a can of drained, flaked tuna, just like I do with KD. Not mixed in, but as a layer in the middle of the noodles. And as another reviewer suggested, topped with sliced tomato instead of the buttered crumbs. It was just easier to slice tomatoes that I had on hand, than prepare the crumbs. And since the noodles were on the dry side, it was good to have the juicy tomato topping.
