We LOVE this recipe! It is a pretty easy one to make with the daycare kids here or to reheat and a lot better than eating KD. I use flour for sauces when I make the cheese sauce and add a bit more than it says to make it a bit thicker.

Made this twice now. First time was not very seasoned, the cheese is great and in the right portion but needs seasoning. The second time I made it I added salt and pepper to taste and I added one tablespoon french's mustard to the cheese sauce before tossing the macaroni in. Much better and just enough kick to make it worth adding to my recipe collection now.

Very bland. Everything else was excellent, just so little flavour. We ended up putting Frank's Red Hot on it. It was easy to make, but you definetely need to play around with it.

Mmm yummy. I made it twice so far and the second time I mixed it up a bit. I used Tex Mex shredded cheese and diced up broccoli. Turned our great :)

This is my favorite. Add many spices and even parmesan and montery jack cheese.

This was so good I love mac and cheese, I made this to take to a supper at our friends house and my friends huby didn't like mac & cheese but he tryed it just to be nice and he love it so well he had 2 helping's. I just add some cut up bacon, and a little more cheese because I love cheese. It stayed so cheesey on the table, didn't go rubbey

We love this recipe in our house i make it about once a week. It's simple and quick. I add way more cheese to it then the recipe calls for as my family loves cheese.
