The Lady's Macaroni and Cheese - Paula Deen

*Elaine*'s Note:

I saw this recipe on Paula's Home Cooking on the Food Network. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks great! (There's a secret ingredient that adds extra flavor and richness to the dish.)

Didn't enjoy this macaroni much at all. I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed with the results. Not creamy or gooey or cheesy or anything. Isn't macaroni supposed to be creamy and gooey and cheesy? This macaroni had the exact same texture as eggs..I like eggs but mac and cheese should never be eggy; i could barely eat it without gagging..also it was very bland and didn't even taste like it had cheese in it. I will never make this again, sorry Paula!

Kind of bland. If I make it again, I'll add some dry mustard and maybe some hot sauce.

This response is for "Sugarpea" I made this recipe exactly as written,baked it immediately, and the eggs in it still curdled.It must be a frequent problem,because I heard "Paula" address it on her show. She seemed puzzled by it,and didn't really have a solution for the curdeling. Needless to say, I didn't make it again.
