This is by far the creamiest, tastiest and most special macaroni and cheese I have ever tried. I'm not usually a fan of homemade macaroni and cheese, but when a friend served this, I had to have the recipe. Since it's so little fuss and well received, it's a terrific potluck dish.

It was pretty good, nice and creamy. Not very flavorful though. Next time I think I'll add a little more cheddar.

I followed directions and it came out mealy and a bit dry. My husband liked the flavor but I think the texture ruined it for me.

This is the recipe I use for mac and cheese. I couldn't find a recipe that was creamy without using process cheese. This recipe solves that problem by using cream cheese. I have used the lowfat version of cream cheese with good results in this recipe.

This Mac & Cheese was delicious. Even our kids liked it. It is a wonderful change from the same whole mac & cheese. The mustard added just enough flavor and the bread crumbs blended in so well with the dish. My kids ask for it regularly.
