      The only change I make is to saute 1/2 medium onion to a golden brown in the butter before adding the salt, pepper and flour. This is comfort food at its best.

      This rating is basically from my 3 year old and 14 month old since Im not really a fan of mac and cheese.. They tore this up! haha. Anytime my 3 year old eats anything is a huge deal. Hes so picky and he had no problems and their were no arguements with this meal. Thanks so much and I plan on making this again. Although next time I dont think Im going to bake it because my noodles always wind up hard on the top. (If anyone has a solution to this, please message me!!) Thanks again for the simple recipe!

      Easy to make, and tasty! I used whole wheat flour instead and also added 1 tsp of dry mustard for some more flavor. I ended up not baking this and just served the cheese sauce over pasta directly too. I cooked the sauce til it was nice and thick. Served with some freshly cracked black pepper and volia, dinner is served.

      Great!! My 4 year old requested mac and cheese for dinner and hubby and I don't like the boxed stuff so I thought I'd give this a try and I'm glad I did! Followed recipe exactly and used Velveeta, but added a couple of handfuls of shredded cheddar.

      On 6/21/10 I was looking for a good " Comfort Food " Mac and Cheese recipe, and came across this one. So, I decided to try it and I'm very glad I did :).Even though it was just myself and SO, the full recipe was made ( I LOVE!!! M & C leftovers ;) ) Since the leftovers were going to be frozen, the breadcrumbs were omitted and shredded cheese was added to the top. The taste was exactly what I was looking for " Comfort Food " at it's finest. If you are looking for a Mac & Cheese that has all sorts of fancy stuff in it, you better look somewhere else. This is just perfect homestyle goodness at its best. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe, and " Keep Smiling :) "

    This is my MIL recipe she has made it for years. It is delicious. The elbow macaroni measurement is for 1--16 ounce box dry. I can't respond to zmail because of a previous issue.
