Patti Labelle's Macaroni and Cheese

This was good Mac and Cheese. My girls ate it right up. I really like my mac and cheese to be a creamier though. This was very cheesy,but a stringy cheesy and I would have left out some of the butter had I known it was going to be so rich. It did have a good taste. Be sure to use the sharp cheddar. It really adds a zing.

I have been making macaroni & Cheese casseroles for over 15 years! This is the absolute best recipe I have ever come across! My entire family enjoyed it! You can't go wrong with this recipe!!

It is good and the whole family liked it. We also like ours to be creamier, so even though I added a little extra half&half, I will add even more the next time. After 30 minutes of baking it was a little too dry for our taste, but definately good and a keeper. Thanks for posting.

This is one of the best macaroni and cheese recipes I have ever had. What a great combination of cheeses! Very rich and full of flavor as I really liked the addition of seasoned salt. I added some seasoned bread crumbs on the top for a crunchy crust, but that's just a personal preference.

I printed this recipe out after seeing it made on Oprah. When finding it posted on Recipezaar, it had omitted the 1/2 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese which was in the origial recipe. This is a true winner to bring to a pot luck-but be ready to get invited to many more after they taste it!

My husband and I loved it; but my kids (believe it or not) prefer the ol' box mac and cheese to this. It wasn't as good when it was re-heated the next day; so because of this when I make it for my husband and me again I will cut the recipe in half so there won't be leftovers.

Awesome recipe!! I used milk instead of half and half to cut down on fat and it was just delicous. Everyone at my dinner party raved over it.

Due to what other's had said I added 1/4 more teaspoon of seasoning salt. Other than that I did exactly as the recipe said. It is an amazing recipe. The complaints that I have seen on here about the cheese curdleing comes from boiling the macaroni too long. It needs to be really super aldente in order to still be able to absorb the moisture of the ingredients. Rave reviews from me though!

Fabulous! Instead of buying all those different cheeses I used 2 cups Mexican cheese blend and the Velveeta........I also used canned evaporated milk in place of half and half and it was delicious.

This was delicious! I've never made mac and cheese with the eggs in it before and I'm so glad I tried this recipe. I did add a bit more salt as others suggested. I also only used the sharp cheeses (l cup of each) and Velveeta. I'm making it a day ahead of time and hope that it reheats well in the crock pot on low. Thanks for posting this recipe. It was well worth trying and I'm sure I'll be making it again!! This is a keeper! Note: I did reheat it the next day in the crockpot on low. I was unsure if it work well because it was a solid block after being in the fridge over night. But after warming up and with a few stirs all was well!! There wasn't a bite of it left and I had doubled the recipe for a family gathering!! So I'd say that at least 20 people or more would give this recipe 5 stars...just on this one use!!!

Made this for a group of friends. It was very good and I will make it again but it needs salt. That little 1/4 tsp of seasoning salt just wasn't enough. This is now my favority mac and cheese recipe.

being a mac and cheese connoisseur i am always willing to try a new recipe. i followed this recipe to a T (even with the velveeta which i was hesitant about) and it turned out quite nicely. taste is definitely along the lines of stouffer's - a comfort M&C Pros: Much less time-intensive than the Martha Stewart M&C recipe - you can make this in one pan on the stovetop Cons: some may think this is a bit bland - will add more seasoning salt next time. also missing a crispy bread crust on top which i would also add

After reading some revies that this mac was bland, I really wanted to make it. With all that cheese how could it be bland?! Well, it is. I will not make this again. I am hunting for the best mac and cheese and have made many. This one is towards the bottom of the list. Try another for sure unless you like air.

Good recipe. I used gluten free rice pasta. I can't eat cow's milk products, so I used 1 c. goat's milk chedder, 1 c. hard rosemary goat's milk chedder, and 8 oz soft goat cheese instead of velveeta. Turned out quite tasty and no problems re-heating the next day.

This macaroni & cheese recipe is really good. The reviews are correct in stating that it needs more seasoning; next time I would add a little more salt and more cheese. I used canned milk instead or 1/2 and 1/2 and it turned out very tasty!

Great recipe but I melt my cheese in the crock pot first for a creamier texture.
