Delicious & easy. The simplest thing I've brought to a work potluck, yet it received the most compliments! :)

I make this all the time for potlucks. I love to be able to put it together hours in advance, and then I can get ready for the event without worrying about the food. It is always a hit, and I get asked for the recipe all the time.

It's so rewarding the first time you cook something and it comes out as delicious as this! A family favorite!

I made this even lighter by using the Light Velveeta & used 1 cup of fat free shredded cheddar cheese & 1 cup of regular shredded cheddar cheese and it still tasted great!

Macaroni and cheese is a staple in our home and this recipe turns out just fine. We tend to double the recipe, as there's more than just two of us living here, but it works for all of us. I love this recipe and will be making it again many more times.

I made this for my daughter's family birthday party to accompany sub sandwiches. I doubled the recipe and used a 6 quart crockpot. There was maybe 1 cup leftover and several guests asked for the recipe!

Has anyone tried it with all Velveeta cheese and no sharp cheddar? If so, how was it?

OMG! I sure this is really good BUT...It takes 2or 3 hours.Somebody has got to come up with a quicker version. I have other tings to do.

I think it would be the same cooking time - each time I double a recipe the same cooking time works fine. Keep the cook setting on LOW so you won't break the cheese.
