This recipe didn't say how much macaroni to use for the amount of cheese sauce!?!

I cut this down to serve 2, and it worked perfectly. A really nice, creamy, classic mac and cheese. My only issue with the recipe is that the pasta and breadcrumbs were not listed in the ingredients, and so were not included in the nutrition info.

I added some veggies to the mac n cheese to make it more of a main dish, the kids loved it! Thanks for posting!

This Mac and Cheese was real good and easy to prepare. I used 1 cup each of Sharp Chedder, Mild Chedder, Monterey Jack, and Colby Cheese. I would of perfered more chedder flavor. Next time I'll use the Sharp Chedder and Swiss combo that Yamma uses. I believe it will be better that way.
