This was very good. I loved that it was so easy to throw together! At first bite, I thought it was a little bland, but the more I ate, the more I liked it and ended up going back for more. I was just making it for the family, so I halved the recipe. Thanks for a quick and easy mac & cheese!

Wonderfully creamy texture and great taste. Even though this contains egg, it's not custardy. I really liked how easy it was to prepare. Thanx for posting this recipe. It's a keeper that will get used over and over!

Delicious--I could not stop eating this. Was a little to rich for the mister, but just right for me.
