recipe reviews for:

Herbed Macaroni and Cheese

“Besides being a really easy recipe to make, it tastes very good, too! This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill macaroni and cheese. The herbs and spices, along with the sour cream, give the dish a wonderful flavor. Serving it with toasted pita bread and salad makes this one of our family's favorite meals, and it's been in the family for a very long time!”

This was a super easy recipe!! I decided to sautee some shallots, red pepper and a bit of mushroom in with the butter before making the cheese sauce. I didn't have "Italian Seasoning" so used oregano, dill and parsley, as well as a bit of garlic powder, onion powder and salt & pepper. I also seasoned the bread crumbs with these spices since they also called for Italian Seasoning. The result was so cheesy and delicious! Definitely a keeper, especially with how easy it was and how quickly dinner was on the table. Thanks!

Keeper! Family loves flavor, and per hubby "it's not a pile of goo like most mac-n-cheese." Sour cream (I actually used plain yogurt) really rounded out the flavor. Also added hot dogs. Mm!! FYI-7 oz. is about a scant 2 cups elbow macaroni that comes in a bag (little bigger sized pasta than boxed macaroni meal).

This is great!! I have made it many times, the one thing that I have changed is I dice an onion and saute with butter before preparing the roux...adds the right texture and flavor :)

I made this today and it is wonderful. I used havarti with dill and cheddar. Instead of italian seasoning I used dill. I used a little garlic powder instead of the onion powder. This recipe is so easy and tasty. I will be making it again.

I like this recipe, but it calls for a bit too much Italian seasoning in my opinion. Its a very powerful seasoning and I like to taste the CHEESE. MMMMM. I definitely will be making again, just not using so much Ital seasoning.

Very good. I crumbled some bacon on top when I baked it. Nice and creamy.

Added some grated onion and shredded (instead of diced) all the cheese. Turned out great! Will be making this again!

This was good, and very easy to whip up. I added a bit of extra cheese (havarti with dill, and some extra sharp cheddar) but I think it still could have used more flavor. The sour cream was a nice touch; made the sauce nice and thick. Everyone else in my family just loved this though. Especially popular with my one year old and my 5-year old! The "crust" of cheese on top was our fave part.

This was a great and quick dish for dinner. I used Muenster cheese with the cheddar, and it smelled so good while it was in the oven. The only thing I missed from my regular macaroni recipe was diced onions. I think I'll add them next time and it'll be even better.
