Yummy! This was my first successful attempt at homemade mac and cheese and it was delicious! I used low fat 3 cheese blend, and low fat milk and butter and I would do it again as we all thought it was great! Thank you for this recipe!

This isn't a bad recipe by any means. I put it all together about like what was said. I also threw some extra cheese on the top at the end like some recommended. Immediately when my mom had her first bite, she noticed that it tasted very familiar. We were suprised to find that it tasted exactly like Stouffer's frozen macaroni and cheese. Maybe it was the sharp cheese I used (Happy Farms sharp cheddar from Aldi). Perhaps if I ever make it again, I will use a really nice, exotic extra sharp cheddar that is much tangier than others. You can't go wrong with the recipe, but with all the trouble I went through to make it, it's easier to buy Stouffer's.

This is divine! I've never made macaroni and cheese from scratch and this is so delicious! I followed the recipe for the sauce exactly except for adding a little more cheese in the sauce then it calls for (because we like extra-cheesy food). It was perfect - lightly tangy and very flavorful. I think the dry mustard really makes it taste so good (although it doesn't taste like mustard at all). I used mild cheddar cheese and skim milk and I can't say enough about how good it came out. The only gray area for me was the measurement of the macaroni. I believe it should read 8 ounces dry macaroni (then cook it) rather than 8 ounces of cooked macaroni. And actually it made so much sauce that I was able to use a whole 12 ounce package of rotini pasta. Super good - a real keeper. I'll make this over and over again! Thanks, Bev!

Bev, this simple dish is absolutely wonderful; very creamy — real comfort food. My family's alltime favourite mac-and-cheese is my own version, but I like to try different ones as well and this one is sure a winner. It was very easy to put together (using ingredients I always have on hand, another plus) and was devoured by my family. This one's a real keeper; thanks!
