Awesome recipe! I add thinely sliced onion (1/2) and like to add a little more processed cheese than called for. If I'm feeling up to a real treat ... Lays potato chips crushed on top replacing the dry bread crumbs, makes a special addition! =)

We love this recipe! It's great with any kinds of cheese. Also even better the next day. Just reheat in mico. If you add a little bit of milk before reheating it comes out just as creamy.

Instead of Velveta, I just increased the amount of shredded cheese. Next time, I'll also reduce the flour to 2 1/2 TBS to reduce the grittiness. A few minutes under the broiler created the crispy bits on top that I always liked about my Mom's Mac & Cheese. Enjoy, Leo

I was concerned about this being bland without any onion or any other seasoning, so in the amount of time I had, I added some minced garlic. During dinner, my husband was silent through the whole meal. I asked him what the thought about the macaroni and cheese, he just said it was okay. The next night, he asked me what was for dinner and I told him the leftover macaroni and cheese. He just stared at me. I threw the rest out and made something else. I won't be making this again.

Only change I made was that I added about 1/3 more cheese then recipe called for. It was delicious, very creamy. This will be my baked macaroni recipe from now on! I have made this several times now and everyone raves about it, wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

This was delicious!!! I doubled the recipe, and instead of breadcrumbs I used Ritz type crackers (mmmm.....). I definitely am adding this recipe to my favorites!

Excellent! I am not much of a cook yet, still learning. But I followed others' lead and doubled the salt and pepper, as well as added about 4 oz. mozzarella cheese and two slices of provolone. Will definitely make this again!

This was easy for me too make even though im a horrible cook! (and accidentally used self rising flour the second time i made it, it wasnt bad!) haha my husband and I didn't care for the breadcrumb topping too much so we just leave that off, but this recipe is hanging on the fridge and I make it at least once a week! (I use a bag of mixed cheeses instead of just cheddar)

This is a very tasty recipe. For my particular preference, I upped the black pepper to 1/2 tsp. and added 1/2 tsp. ground mustard powder. I omitted the butter from the bread crumb topping, added more crumb topping, and added Parmesan to the crumb topping. I still can't honestly say that I prefer the Velveeta-sauce mac&cheese to the all-cheddar varieties, but this was certainly a tasty excursion, and gave me many ideas for queso dip! Thanks!

I added some broccoli and tuna and increased the cheese as recommended. I liked it more than my previous attempts at mac and cheese, but it still came out a bit bland. I would absolutely use the recipe again as a jumping off point for some creative exploration.

This was very good and relatively easy to make. May taste even better before baking, if you like that creamy/cheesy taste, which I do. My husband prefers the bread crumbs and baked-ness, and he really liked this. Quite filling. Yum!

Good, creamy mac & cheese. I used 1/2 sharp cheddar, 1/2 reg cheddar because that's what I had on hand. Next time, I think I'll add some ground mustard to add a little kick.

This was a huge hit with my family. I calculated the recipe for 16 servings for a party of 8 adults and there was very little left over. However, I tried adding a little extra cheese like some said and I ended up with too much and had to discard some, so next time I'll follow the recipe exactly. Also, the butter didn't seem to convert right and there was way too much for the topping so it never crisped, but it still tasted great. Before I baked it, it tasted exactly like my favorite frozen mac & cheese! For the reviewers who thought it needed something more, it would probably be great with a really strong, sharp cheese, like Asiago or Swiss mixed in. I will be making many more times!

This was good, but I've had better. I did make a couple of changes though. I had 4 oz of Velveeta left so I used that and lowered the cheddar cheese to about 3/4 cup. If I make this again, I would probably use the same ratio, and increase the amount of macaroni to 2 cups like some readers suggested.

Was great! I made a few changes though. I used 2 cups elbow macaroni, plus I took another reviewers advice and put extra shredded cheddar cheese on top of the macaroni before baking. I also didn't think the bread crumbs were that good, so I substituted crushed Ritz crackers in for the bread crumbs. I liked the slight crunch. Over all it was a hit!
