A friend passed this recipe on to me and I made some changes that created this definite crowd pleaser. I make it for every family get-together and I haven't found anyone, child or adult, who doesn't love this ooey, gooey macaroni and cheese. —Sabrina DeWitt, Cumberland, Maryland

I've been making this since it was published back in 2011 and everyone I make this for absolutely raves. And I'm constantly asked for the recipe by many!

This is a keeper. My husband who grew up on macaroni pie likes this version even better!

This mac and cheese is so yummy. Everyone in my family loves it. The recipe does make a lot and it's really filling. This is great for a crowd, or in my case, a really large family.
