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!

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*

<p>I'm a WAHM, with an 11 yr old boy. The crockpot is my friend. I'm interested in historical European cooking and illusion foods, while my husband is a very Meat & Taters man (who is at least open to different things). <br /> <br />Great googly moogly! Chef of the day?! WOOHOO! :D</p>
