I made it exactly just the way it says and it didnt look or taste good. My kids are used to the creamy macaroni and this looked like it was old and not very tasty. I'll stick to my favorite Lubys macaroni and cheese.

Thanks for the recipe. I added a little more cheese, to the recipe. Just to give it,that creamy taste. Other than that? I followed, your exact recipe. Thank so much!

My kids really liked this recipe. So much so, that it is all gone. I made it exactly like posted. I thought it was kind of on the dry side. I guess I am just partial to the creamy mac and cheese type. I will still make this again tho for the girls. Thank you.
