"MAMA used Texas Longhorn cheese in this recipe. When the cheese melted, it covered all the macaroni. I loved to dig in and see how many strings of cheese would follow my spoonful."

Boxed mac and cheese dinners are easier and have about as much taste.

There was absolutely no flavor to this recipe. Too much flour taste. Not recommended.

I really like this recipes, it's quick, easy, and tastes so good... too good. I plan on making this again, maybe with swiss, or pepperjack cheese!

It was different but I prefer the baked version. I will make this again for a quick side dish.
