This creamy, filling Mac 'n' Cheese definitely doesn't come from a box! Fresh veggies add crunch and color and will leave everyone saying, "More, please!" Marsha Morrill, Brownsville, Oregon

This was a great recipe. Even my hubby who is not big on homemade mac 'n' cheese, liked this one and had seconds. The kids and I devoured it. I used penne and loved it that way. I also used part sharp and part medium cheddar since that it what I had on hand. This also went over very well with guests.

this is my favorite mac & cheese recipe ever! It's comfort food, but there's veggies, so I don't feel so bad. My 2 year old gobbles it up!

Personally I don't like the bitter taste of sharp cheddar so next time I'll use mild cheddar or even something milder.

This was very good and pretty. I used frozen winter mix with cauliflower, brocolli & carrots instead of fresh vegetables, I was making only half the recipe. It worked well and the leftovers are good too.

Doesn't quite work as a veggie dish with chicken broth in it - with a vegetarian in the house am always looking for great dishes the whole family will enjoy - substituting veggie broth for the chicken broth serves that purpose and tastes great! Thanks.

I added 1 cup of cooked chicken breast to make this a main dish. I have made it several times for covered dish dinners and it is always a hit.

Oh... and I used 2 cups of Penne instead of the macaroni... which was great because it caught up the sauce really well.
This was sooo good! Next time I will substitute some of the veggies with chicken and regular mustard for the Dijon... just because my hubby doesn't like the taste of Dijon. But, this is the fist mac 'n' cheese recipe that has worked out for me. Try it you will not be dissapointed.
