  1. Looks delish! What are the eggs for? Binding? Can't wait to make this for my family. :)
     
  2. THIS RECIPE IS YUCK!!!! FOLLOWED IT TO A T. THE ONLY CHANGE WAS A LARGER DISH USED TO COMPENSATE FOR OVER SPILLAGE. IT RESULTED IN A BRICK FORM OF MAC AND CHEESE. WASTING MORE THAN HALF OF MY INGREDIENTS. WHEN YOU EAT MAC AND CHEESE YOU WANT IT TO BE CREAMY AND LOOSE MACARONI NOODLES, NOT A BRICK SOLID PASTA MASS.
     
  3. Awesome Mac and Cheese recipe........simple, easy cheesy. I used triple blend cheddar, sharp cheddar and VELVEETA Shreds, 8 oz each. No garlic powder. No bechamel sauce needed. My new "go to" recipe. Thanks for sharing, John.
     
  4. This is by far the best recipe for Mac 'n Cheese. Easy to prepare and delicious. My first recipe for Mac 'n Cheese, is over 45 years and I never found a recipe better until I tried John Legend's recipe.
     
  5. When I poured it into the casserole dish it over flowed everywhere. :( then after I poured some out and put it into the oven it started bubbling over! I'm a beginner, but this looked easy. :(
