This is a great starter recipe. It's 4 stars, but 5 if you make it based on the previous reviewers suggestions. I used 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup, 1.5 cups milk and 1/2 cup of sour cream. If you use the extra soup, I don't think you need as much of the shredded cheese. I used about 2 cups of mild cheddar. The first time I made it, I baked it, which was good, but my family prefers a creamy sauce for mac' n cheese, so this time, we didn't bake it. It still tastes great and was very creamy! Thanks for the recipe!

Finally, a basic mac & cheese recipe that as given not only is easy the throw together, but tastes great too! Like so many others I have tried several other mac & cheese recipes and they always have disappointed me in one way other another. This one is a keeper for sure, thanks for sharing it with us.

I thought this was great! I did add the sour cream and topped it with butter and bread crumbs. It's the only Mac & Cheese my 5 year old will eat now.

I have tried sooo many mac n cheese recipes, and my family has hated them all. This is the first homemade mac n cheese recipe I've made that they love. I love how easy it is to make! It did need two cans of soup, and I had about 1/2 cup sour cream I needed to use up, but other than that, no changes were made. This will be in the regular rotation. :-)

Not bad. I didn't use as much pasta as required (because of all the other comments; instead of adding more milk and cheese, I just added less pasta). It came out ok. Not the best mac 'n cheese I've ever had, but it definitely works when your in a bind or don't want to do a whole lot of work. I think it's the flavor of the cheddar cheese soup that makes it not as awesome as I was hoping. I will probably make this again, whenever I'm feeling lazy but have a hankerin' for some mac 'n cheese.

Followed other reviewers suggestions, added about a 1/2 cup of sour cream, 2 cans soup, 1 and 1/2 cups milk. Turned out very creamy, but bland. Next time I will use cheddar instead of Colby.

I've made this before and it was good. I love the idea about baking it in the cupcake pan. So clever and easy to serve. I'm trying it tonight for a party preview!
