Sorry, but come-on people, have any of you had mac-n-cheese before??? The recipe calls for the basics and obviously you can add things to make it to your own taste. (although the mushroom soup idea sounds not to my liking) there are plenty of variations in the cheeses and additions. You could add hamburg,greenpeppers,onions, for a cassarole, etc... All in all the recipe is great at covering the basic ingredients and is wonderful for any family!

This is really good mac'n cheese. I substituted the mexican style Velveeta for a portion of the Velveeta cheese to give it a bit of a spice. My whole family loves it!

I made this for the 1st time tonight and and it was so easy and tasted wonderful! Because I only cook for two I cut everything in half and it turned out great. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who is a fan of mac n cheez!!!!

This was actually pretty simple to prepare and it turned out O.K. My family ate it, but the kids seemed to like it most. It was a little bland, so I added a bit of salt and pepper.

I made this for Thanksgiving last year and my son loved it! I would not use as much milk next time because it was runny. Fantastic comfort food. Becky

I will use more velveeta next time. I like my mac and cheese creamier. This was a little dry.
