I loved this. I did add cream cheese, 2 cups of white cheddar and doubled the cracker topping with lots of pepper. A big hit! A great left over dinner too!

This was really good and easy to make.I didn't use the crackers and I added about another half cup of milk. Will make it again.

My sons loved this recipe! The only thing they said to do different next time is put more Ritz crackers on top.

I only cut 2 corners on this recipe, I didnt use the crackers (didnt have them) and I didnt put it in the oven, I added the grated cheese and just microwaved it for a few min. Otherwise it is a very delicious mac and cheese and was relatively easy to make.
