I served this as a main dish, with homemade baked beans and coleslaw on the side. I am eating wheat-free, so made this with brown-rice macaroni and I eliminated the bread-crumb topping. In fact, I was running out of time, so I didn't even put this in the oven at all .... just served it nice and hot from the skillet. This did seem a bit bland at first, but all it really needed was some salt to taste. Then the flavors came together nicely and it was even better the next day.

OOPS!!!! I misspelled "garlic" in previous posting. it definitely doesn't need a "k" at the end......
very good side dish! I didn't have bread crumbs; therefore, I chose to use crushed ritz crackers. "DELISH" served with grilled pork chops & garlick cheese toast. Great meal. TOH -- you are the best

I agree that the recipe was a bit bland,but you have to go by your own taste. I added some part skim ricotta, hot sauce,salt and pepper to taste. Recipes are a canvas. Sometimes the original is just right, other times you have to improvise and use it as a base. BTW, I added the broccoli to the macaroni while cooking and used only one other pan for the vegetables and sauce. I melted and mixed the breadcrumbs in my measuring cup. Not at all as much clean up as some have said. Very good base recipe and easy to build on.

It was just okay, and not worth making again.

This was very good and my 3 year old loved it. I added double the garlic powder, pepper and topped with double the bread crumbs. Recipe would have been too bland for me as is.

This was good. Surprisingly relatively healthy for as comforting and indulgent as it seems. It made A LOT!

I just threw this away after spending more than 30 minutes preparing it & 30 minutes cooking it. It was very bland, which is hard to believe when you look at the list of ingredients. Oh well, win some, lose some.
