I absolutely loved this recipe! The only reason i dont make it as often as i would like is because it is a little time consuming after getting home from work. instead of sliced packaged american i went to the deli and bought some other yellow cheese (not a fan of processed cheese) since i couldnt find white cheddar, as other reviews suggested. it came out great and the i think that it may have even tasted better leftover!

I thought this was delicious. My mom made it last night. I make another version but i had always added onion to that one. Thiss one seems to be the best of bolth worlds. The onion REALLY compliments the cheeses. Anyone who says the onion flavor was to stron or overtaking probbaly used an onion that was strong. My thing with onion is you should always ajust the ammount to fit te pungency. If your not a good enough cook to do that then you dont belong rateing this recipie.

A good starter recipe. The American Cheese helps mellow out the sharp Cheddar. I have made this a couple times and its a great easy recipe when you have a bunch of extra cheese that you need to use.

onions are great in this recipe- if you're worried, cut the onion in half, and make sure you saute them til clear. they help MAKE this dish.

Very good. Left out the onions. Used colby jack instead of cheddar because that's what I had. I also added bread crumbs to the top.

I was terribly disappointed in this. Nobody in my family liked it, and I actually had to throw it out. My kids are not picky eaters, but this one was a flop.

I made this for the first time for my daughter's birthday party and it was a huge hit! My friend that was helping me added some seasoned bread crumbs (made from wheat potato bread) to the top about halfway through cooking. Fantastic!

I thought this was excellent. The texture was perfect. I did omit the onion because I wasn't sure if everyone would like that addition. I followed the recipe except for that. It was a hit at the cookout we attended!

I thought it came out dry and I did not like the American cheese in it. It was ok but I won't make it again.

Was good and very simple. I thought it could use more American cheese, but we like ours very cheesy.

It was fine but I thought it lacked flavor. I will still be searching for other recipes.

My family really liked this recipe...had to double it though. It was very creamy and had a great flavor. I used velveeta for the american cheese and left out the onions for my daughter. I will make it again!!

My photo is currently on the main page. :) It was really good but I did omit the american cheese and onions as my bf wanted traditional mac n' cheese. I used sharp cheddar as the main cheese. I also mixed in garlic cream cheese into the milk mixture. I topped with breadcrumbs and Parmesan and baked covered for 20 minutes otherwise it would have been dreadfully dry. I then uncovered for 5 or so minutes with a couple more on broil and it came out looking and tasting great. So glad I could make mac n' cheese without heavy cream - thanks!

I followed the recipe exactly, other than using some mexican blend of shredded cheese instead of just cheddar. I didn't even notice the onion. This recipe is VERY good the first time around, but after two nights of leftovers, I might of over-dosed, cause now the thought of it makes me sick. It is very rich and very heavy. I would make again for a pot luck, otherwise, will only be a once in a great while dish in which I will only make a small portion so that I don't have the leftovers and don't OD again. I still give it 4 stars, cause like I said.. first time around, it was very good!

I think i've tried all the mac and cheese recipes on this site and anywhere else I can find and this one is by far the best!! I like to top mine with crumbled crackers rather than bread crumbs.
