  1. To: Dancer Just to let you know, I made your yummy mac 'n cheese dish this evening. Made a dandy side for burgers (an easy Friday night meal). I love mac 'n cheese on the stove, but mine is pretty bland. I like your seasonings better. I think they "wake" the mac up! Thanks for sharing. Laudee C. Colorado
     
  2. My Husband and I loved this recipe. It was very easy to put together. The flavor was great. And it heats up nicely. Thank you for the recipe.
     
  3. Insanely awesome. I've been looking for a home made, non-bake, non-flour based recipe. I can stop looking. Perfect as written and at the same time a great base to innovate from. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
     
  4. Good, quick and easy. I had to use up 3/4 lb. of hot pepper cheese, used it with 1/4 lb. American cheese. It was GOOD and flavorful! Thanks, HeatherDiane, for posting.
     
  5. We loved this! I'm a huge fan of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese but my husband likes the homemade kind much better - and I liked the fact that it has zero preservatives. Needless to say I didn't think I'd like this as much as I did because I haven't been a fan of homemade mac in the past, but this was delicious! We are lucky to live in the dairy state where good extra sharp Wisconsin cheddar grows on trees. A Very creamy sauce. Thanks!

  1. LOVED it. After one bite my four year old said "Mama! I want you to make this for lunch EVERY DAY!" Ha! It was delicious and creamy and cheesy and perfect. We used paprika instead of hot sauce as we didn't have any. Turned out perfectly. Thanks a bunch - have made twice already!
     
  2. I was in a pinch because my extremely picky 8 year old wanted mac and cheese and I had no boxed ones on hand. I decided to give this a try and he loved it! I didnt tell him it wasnt boxed but he gobbled it all up and asked for seconds. I used white pepper instead of black pepper (for fear of being busted). I also used whole grain macaroni and 2% kraft cheese.
     
  3. This is one of my favorite recipes for mac and cheese! MUCH better than out of a box. One time I tried doubling the recipe, and it didn't turn out very well. I think the proportions need to be changed when doubling. The next time I make it I'm going to try substituting white cheddar for the sharp cheddar.
     
  4. My BH wanted a Mac & Cheese that was as simple as the "boxed" version. I found this recipe was very easy & easily tweekable to our tastes. We did not use the hot sauce & replaced the dry mustard with regular prepared mustard. We enjoyed it very much, very cheesy. I will be making this again, but using a better cheese instead of Kraft. And possibly adding a bit of bread crumbs to the finish. Thanks for the recipe BigFatMomma!!
