I made this for Christmas dinner. I loved the creaminess of it however, it was too much Velveeta cheese for me. It overpowered the rest of the cheese's. I'm not a big fan of Velveeta anyway so it's just a personal preference. I will absolutely make this again only I'll cut the Velveeta in half and make up for it with more shredded cheddar and american. It was very easy to make and can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing earlybird.

This is some of "the best" tasting macaroni and cheese I've ever had. By adding one fourth of the shredded cheese ontop of this dish, it made it a bit crispy ontop, and boy did that taste good. I made this dish as is, except I used Half-&-Half instead of milk, and this still tasted great. This is one dish I will enjoy making again, but I will need to cut the recipe in half, as it does make a lot for just my hubby and me. Thank you earlybird for this wonderful recipe, it was quite delish!!

At first I thought this recipe tasted too cheddary, or sharp. But the more I ate it, the more I liked it! Next time I will add a little more than two cups of macaroni because this recipe is, like it says, super cheesy! Thanks for the recipe.
