Delicious! Just like Grandma and Mom used to make. Had been craving for months, and BAM there was your recipe! Followed instructions, and used tomatoes that were already diced. Could not find Savory at the local atore, but was still delicious! Hubby also raved!

Wow, brought back memories of when I was a child and my mom made mac and cheese. Nice alternative to creamy mac and cheese that is popular today.
