Loved it...would definitely try a lighter version, like cut back on the butter used (there was so much grease sitting on the top that I mopped it up with paper towels) & use reduced fat cheese instead. I also added 2 squirts of mustard for an extra taste :o) My family loved it.

I have a rather stupid question. When a recipe says 2 cups uncooked macaroni does it work to simply measure two 8 ounce measuring cups full of uncooked pasta?
