  1. Much, much better than the box versions!!! I added a few extras based on one of the reviews and the other recipes I looked at before trying this one. I added 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp paprika. Both my DDs gave this a 4 out of five, but one then requested it a week later! Both times I made this I needed to add about a 1/4 cup of water near the end, so I'll start with 3 cups of water next time. This will become a regular part of our meal rotation. Thanks for a great recipe!<br/><br/>I also made this for a friend who broke one ankle and the other foot - I can't imagine not being able to at least hobble for 8 weeks!!!! She and her family liked it very much!
     
  2. Made this for lunch today and the kids liked it. As for myself, I'd like to try some other ingredients to add a little more flavor. I did not have the cheddar cheese, so instead I used Velveeta cheese. You will need to adjust the water amount as the macaroni cooks. I believe I added about an extra cup. This change gave it a more creamy texture. I made this for *New Kids On The Block Tag Game 2010*
     
  3. I loved this one, and I intend to make it again. I did add some sauteed onions and peppers for a little more texture.
     
  4. My kids absolutely LOVE this recipe, and I think it's great because it's easy. It also tastes good, and I don't feel bad about serving it. It's better than whipping something up from a box, if you know what I mean.
