This didn't come out well and I followed the recipe exactly.

This was good. I wish it had a little more flavor but it was good. I will probably make this again next week and add some bacon to it.

You definitely need all the cheese this calls for! I thought I could get away with adding less. Four cups sounded like so much! But it really adds to the flavor. I added frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, for nutrition and garlic salt for a bit more flavor.

I made this and it turned out great. Baked it alittle longer and stirred it twice. Reduced amount of cheese-still came out good.

I followed the recipe word for word and found it to be greasy and not the best flavor, kind of chewy was one reaction.

This is the ultimate in no-fuss!! Boil water and butter, toss in macaroni, cheeses and spices - 45 minutes later, an absolutely awesome mac'n'cheese that is usually eaten in one sitting by my family of four. My daughter tries to have a leftover serving to take for school lunch. My only change is reducing the butter to 2 tablespoons and I also add 1 cup of sour cream. Gotta try this one!!

When I made this it went badly...pulled it out of the oven and it was watery with clumps of cheese. Thought dinner was ruined but I had a can of cheese soup in the cupboard. Poured it in, heated for a few more minutes, and dinner was served. Not only that but the kids LOVED it.

I made this for a friend and she absolutely loved it. My daughter was jealous and asked me to make it for her. I am making it tonight so that we can experience this. What a simple recipe.
