I was skeptical adding the BBQ sauce with the cheese sauce but it works. It was delicious, I used the Alfredo homestyle Mac & cheese. My husband and son both loved this. Will be making it again.

This was easy to make and tasty. We really enjoyed the flavor of the bbq sauce. However, it gets thick pretty quickly (by the time you go back for seconds)so be prepared to add more sauce to loosen it up.

I have never tried this particular recipe, but for years now I have always topped my mac & cheese with BBQ sauce. This recipe looks delicious though, I'll have to try it soon!

Love this recipe! So easy! Added some extra bacon, used shallots instead of onions. YUMMY!

This was pretty good... I was a little hesitant about the BBQ sauce at first, but to us, it really was not that noticeable in the finished dish - I would suggest serving extra BBQ sauce on the side for those who would like more BBQ flavor... I used the quick cooking bacon, and added the green onions and also some shredded cheddar cheese...

My fiance and I love this! At first I was a little turned off by it....mac and cheese with bbq sauce??!!! But it is awesome, and so easy for a week night. I use the dehydrated bacon crumbles...you can find them near the croutons at the grocery store. Not as fatty and easier!
