This recipe was pretty good. I too love stouffers mac and I have been looking for a good recipe. I did find it just a touch bland...maybe some sharp cheddar would give it a little extra taste? My main problem with this recipe was the expense. WOW there is a ton of cheese. I spent $14.00 on cheese alone. I took it to my sons end of the year pre-school party and they loved it. My son couldn't leave it alone. I will probably make it again but will cut the recipe down (it makes a huge pan), and buy my cheese on sale!! Thamks for sharing this great recipe!!
