Was bland and tasteless. I was very disappointed and I followed the directions exactly.

A great low fat mac and cheese recipe. My wife and I loved it and I will make it again. Even the leftovers reheated were great.

Nice lower fat mac & cheese. I used whole wheat pasta to make it even better. I would recommend letting it sit for several mintues before serving, It got better.

Very good. I personally did not use fat-free evaporated milk or fat-free milk because I didn't have any on hand, and although it probably decreased the healthy benefits, the recipe was very good! My 13 month old couldn't get enough and even my husband was pleased. I was happy because it was so easy!

This was so close to the recipe my grandma gave me years ago, the only difference was the fat-free evaportated milk, this was a good choice to make the mac n cheese creamier without the added fat in heavy cream. Great my family loved it! Thanks for an alternative for those on low fat diet.

My husband and I love this macaroni and cheese. I have made it many times. Sometimes I substitute whole wheat macaroni to make it even healthier.
