You could use salt and pepper to taste, but we don't feel it needs it. This is so simple it seems almost too easy! But you'll love it and fix it often. —Ann Bowers, Rockport, Texas

This was so rich and creamy, what a great comfort food! I lightened it up using Brummel & Brown spread in lieu of butter, using skim milk instead of half-and-half, and I used 2% Velveeta. That drops almost 150 calories per serving and cuts the fat down to 1/3 the original. And it definitely did not take away the richness of the dish! I would make this as a treat to myself anytime I'm craving mac 'n cheese, sure beats opening a box and doesn't take any more time to make than a box. We loved it!

P.S. I made it without the flour, used milk and American Processed cheese.
This is a great recipe. I made mac and cheese like this for over 40 years - my family loved it and they now make it for their families.

I made this for years when my kids were growing up but never used the flour, just cheese, butter and milk. Never needed the flour so I must have put in more cheese. When we tried this we decided we like it better without the flour.

This is the only way I knew Macaroni & Cheese to be made, and I still do this today, only instead of Velveeta { which I detest!} I use the Kraft American cheese in the blue box and Lactaid! My stepson had never tasted anything but boxed Mac N Cheese and he went crazy for it!

What a great recipe! I did use 1% milk and it still came out nice and creamy...my mac and cheese crazed family LOVED it! The best thing is, it didn't take any more time than the box!

I found this recipe about a month ago and made it for my family before trying it out at the assisted living facility that I work at. (I cook for 20 residents). My son always ate kraft mac and cheese and alot of it! Now that he's had a taste of this recipe, he loves homemade more! It was a hit at work, too. Thanks so much
