Good and easy to make. I followed the recipe except that I added a good bit of pepper and some salt.

I seem to have been tagging mac & cheese quite a bit over the past 6 months or so, but I have a neighbor couple that I cook for at times, & they love it, so . . . This particular recipe really got them going, 'cause it reminded them so much of a favorite recipe from years ago, which means this will definitely be a keeper for me! Thanks for posting it!

This WAS simple and delicious. I made this for lunch and have some leftovers so it will taste good tomorrow, too. It couldn't be any easier. I did add some pepper because I just love it. Thanks for sharing!
