"Even people who have had their own macaroni and cheese recipe for years ask for mine when they taste this crumb-topped version," writes Schelby Thompson of Dover, Delaware. Tip: "Make it with extra-sharp white cheddar cheese for more flavor," Schelby recommends.

This is an awesome recipe. I used a horseradish mustard and added fresh garlic for a little extra flavor!!!

I had an extra half a box of elbow macaroni in the pantry & tossed it in. And I boiled my macaroni the night before, rinsed it in cold water then put in fridge. The next day when I made the cheese sauce I slowly added in the prepared in advance macaroni and saved time. I served it to my book club and everyone loved it. Thank you for my next go-to recipe and making me a star. Didn't really change anything in the sauce.

I've tried a few baked mac and cheese recipes and this is now my go-to recipe! It's delicious! I made it with the sharp white cheddar as reccommended and did add a couple dashes of paprika and hot sauce to give it a bit more flavor, but other than that stuck to the recipe and it was great! Makes a full 13x9 pan, and is very affordable compared to recipes with tons of expensive cheeses!!!

Writing this review as I start to prep the ingredients to make it again. Kiddos love it and so do the grownups. Will be a household staple from here on in :)

This recipe was so overly flavoured by the powdered mustard it was obscene. The Onions were a nasty surprise counterpoint as well. Also, no egg?? Bleh!!
