Good call on using mushroom soup, I wouldn't have thought of that and it makes the sauce nice and thick. Only thing I would suggest is using more cheese for better flavor, as it was SLIGHTLY bland next to the usual mac and cheese I'm used to. I added crushed croutans on top in addition, which made it DELICIOUS! It gives it extra crunch and finishes off with a mild spice.

Needs a lot more cheese. Not much flavor to it as posted.

Great simple recipe to base variations. I added double the cheese - but should have done triple like others had, and added some panko bread crumbs on top before baking. Turned out beautifully. I also opted to use cream of celery, but will try cream of chicken next time.

Very good but I did change a few things. I used about 2 cups of cheese and 3 cups of pasta. I added garlic powder, dijon mustard, a dash of nutmeg, dash of worcestershire sauce and pepper. No salt! It is salty enough from the cheese and soup. I do like this recipe even though I adjusted it because the creamed soup is a lot faster then making a roux and tastes very similar in the end.

It came out really good! I added some frank's hot sauce to the cheese sauce and I also added some browned hamburger. When I baked it I put shredded cheese, grated parmesan cheese and paprika on top. Came out good, but still a little bland. I may add more types of cheese next time? Or maybe Italian sausage?

Really good! I used condensed cheese soup and a whole block of cheese, though. It had a very mild cheese flavor and was just the right consistency. It helped to microwave the cheese mixture before adding to the pasta.

This was indeed a super easy recipe. I made it once exactly as posted and it was okay. But the second time I made it, I added about a half teaspoon of garlic powder and a half teaspoon of Italian seasoning and it made it wonderful! Good comfort food and so easy!

I have to say I was surprised at how good this was and the kids gobbled it up, so I'm pretty sure they would agree. I did add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 3/4 tsp of season salt to the soup and cheese mixture, then topped it with Ritz cracker crumbs since I had some on hand. By the way, stick with the cream of mushroom soup. I tried this recipe a second time with cheese "soup" and it wasn't nearly as flavorful!
