“This is the ultimate mac-and-cheese,” declares Cindy Hartley of Chesapeake, Virginia. It's creamy, thick and very rich, and it holds the wonderful cheddar flavor. Cindy adds, “Once you taste it, you will be hooked.”

YUM! This was both easy and tasty. Butter + Cheese + more cheese= a really good dinner.

This sounded good until I looked at the saturated fat count: 30 g. Are you kidding me? This may be good but it's not for my family. We need something more "health friendly"

This was like glue. There is far too much flour in this recipe. Too pasty and not creamy.

Excellent and easy! Added a bit more cinnamon and some nutmeg also! I added a little Redi Whip on top and it was like eating apple pie with no crust!

the best I've ever had in my entire life. I left out a few tablespoons of flour due to what someone said about being too thick, & added a 1/2 cup more of milk. It was soooooooo amazing. Thank you so much!

Cottage cheese In watching the food network I found a tip .....I can't tell anyone how I make my mac and cheese because, I just make it, does that make any sense? Typical white sauce, I usually try to use more than one kind of cheese, I vary this depending on what I have on hand. So HERE IS THE TIP I saw on food network - Cottage cheese!!! I just make my mac and cheese and then when I pour into pan to bake, I pour about a third into casserole dish, then a thin layer of cottage cheese, next third then another layer of cottage cheese. then top with rest of mac and cheese - bake as normal!! I DID NOT tell my family for fear of their refusing to eat. My Husband says it is the best he has EVER has.

I found this recipe to have good taste. But mouth feel was very pastey. The white sauce was too large a portion for the little macaroni used. We even added an additional cup of pasta to the sauce. It is a very rich recipe full of fat. Beware of all the calories with this one.sdk.
