This is a grand slam home run!! I did make 2 changes...... Beef bouillon (because I didn't have chicken) and Nice N Cheesy because I didn't have shredded cheddar. I topped it with Nice N Cheesy (melted with whole milk for a creamy sauce) and baked it until the sauce browned randomly. It is KILLER!!
wow! i made this exactly as shown and it was delicious! i loved it and so did my family! definitely going to be a repeat recipe.
This is delicious!!! Me and hubby give it 10/10 ! Will use again
I also doubled the pasta and instead of bouillon I used roasted chicken base. Added onions because we have no kids. Phenomenal !!!
My boys and I absolutely loved it. Our new quick and easy fave!
I loved this! Left out the bouillon though. Easy and amazing!
This recipe does not need the bouillon at all. The butter and cheese have enough salt. Otherwise it was delicious and easy.
My teens ask for this all the time (and they aren't ordinarily big fans of baked mac and cheese). So simple and sooooo yummy! As for the sodium, I don't think it's salty at all. However, I always use sodium-free bouillon in any recipe. Maybe they don't have that in Denver. Maybe that's only something we have in Ohio.
My family LOVES this
We love this dish in our house...only change we make is a little extra cheese and I use a pound of pasta...there's 6 of us It's a fantastic and easy dinner to make...
