Five stars all the way! The only thing I did differently was divide the recipe in half. Will definitely make again.

I just made this and it is in the oven. It calls for 1/2 cup butter divided. You use the first 6 tsp for the roux (flour/butter mixture) and the remaining butter to be tossed with the cooked noodles. Then at the end with the Velveeta it calls for melted butter but how much and was that omitted from the actual recipe?? HELP!

I'm new to cooking so i have a question. I just made this stuff. As i'm writing i'm also eating it lol. Anywho.. I ran into a small lil problem.. When it says "Combine the cheese, bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle around edges of casserole." I couldn't get it around all the edges. Did i do something wrong? Is there an easier way? Even though i had that lil issue this stuff is really good.

My whole family loves this. I also like to add a cup of sliced cooked carrots and omit the pimentos. It takes great that way too!
