The wonderful homemade goodness of this creamy macaroni and cheese makes it a staple side dish in my mother's kitchen and in mine as well. It has tender noodles and a crowd-pleasing golden crumb topping. -Maria Costello, Monroe, North Carolina

This is the best Mac and Cheese recipe I have ever ate. I used Italian bread crumbs and added cubes of skinless boneless chicken that I had boiled in Chicken broth. YUM! YUM!

Best Mac n Cheese I've ever made! I used 8oz of Velveeta instead of 2oz, Panko bread crumbs and half of box of spiral pasta(left over in the pantry). Baked in an 8x8 square dish and it turned out great!

This is my go-to mac & cheese recipe, I add a chicken bouillon cube to the white sauce for an added flavor boost! If you like Boston Market mac & cheese - try this one, you won't be sorry!!!

Very good! I like to add a little chopped ham in it.

This recipe was fantastic!! Easy to make and SO yummy. My husband LOVED it. I added a little more cheese than the recipe called for (I added 1/4 cup more shredded cheese and a little bit extra Velveeta) which made it even cheesier/creamier which we loved. Also, the recipe said it serves 6--I think thats a little high. I would say it serves 3. Overall its an excellent recipe and I can't wait to make/eat it again!!

Everyone's always asking for this recipe. I add 1 Tbsp. sugar to the flour, and it made the sauce even better!

I have been making this recipe for a couple of years. It's definitely a family favorite. I use sharp cheddar and increase it slightly. This is the best home made macaroni and cheese recipe ever!
