Questions & Replies

  1. I don't think I have had margarine in the house in thirty years..So will use real Butter, prob 3/4 stick. ..did anyone do the same? I need extra creamy M & C as I like to put the dish full into my smoker and finish cooking.. I will add Panko mixed with the remaining butter sprinkled on top before smoking. Dry mustard is a must. and maybe a combo of different cheeses?

  1. Great recipe! I didn't precook my shells, I just mixed them in. everything came out really creamy just how i wanted it too. It took almost 3 hours to cook, and left me plenty of time to make my potato salad. Very, very tasty. I really recommend this one! I did only use one egg and, about a cup less cheese. loved the half and half in there, made it taste perfect! Thanks to Dee for a winner! ;)
     
  2. OMG this recipe is the BOMB!! This is the only way I ever make mac and cheese anymore. My husband goes bonkers when I make it. It is SOOOOO good. I don't make it too often bc of the high calories but I don't want to change it or lighten it in any way. Why mess with perfection? Thank you SO much for this awesome recipe!!!
     
  3. I followed this recipe completely. Pretty good, I didn't cook the pasta before putting in the crockpot & I would suggest pre-cooking it at least a bit to make sure they get nice & soft.
     
  4. Great recipe and very easy. I must say, it comes very, very close to my all-time favorite mac n cheese! DH and DD loved it! Will definitely make this again and again. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

  5. We made this exactly as the recipe states and liked it, although it wasn't as creamy as I was hoping it would be. Still we'll make it again, but maybe try it with one egg instead of two and see if it makes it a bit creamier. The flavor is pretty good even without the creaminess we desired.
