This is a classic favorite of all of the Luby's Cafeteria customers. From the Luby's 50th Anniversary Recipe Collection Cookbook. The taste of this M&C might be a little bland, but you can always kick it up.

This is my favorite mac and cheese recipe. I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfect! This reminds me of my grade school cafeteria mac and cheese... the ONLY days I would eat "hot lunch" at school were the days when that mac and cheese was served. Good childhood comfort food memory! Thank you!!

    I thought this was awesome, thank you. Although I did have to add more cheese to it, on top of the American Cheese I added Velveeta, I think it probably couldv'e used some more milk as well. But, all in all, my husband loved it, he loves Luby's Mac & cheese thats why I was very happy when I found this recipe, he got two large servings. Again, thank you for the post!!

    Great recipe! So easy and yummy. I loved the creamy texture and cheesy flavor. The technique of making the white sauce in a bowl (rather than constantly stirring over the hot stove) is a keeper. Next time I'm going to do half American, half extra sharp cheddar to make it more pungent. I left off the foil and baked it at 375 for about 20 minutes. I'm going to do it longer next time and up the heat to 400 for the last part so that the top and edges get crispy.

    Total comfort food on a cold snowy night. Thanks Paula, this is great stuff. Made as written, except I chopped up my cheese rather than shredded it (it was thick sliced deli cheese). I will make this again without changing a thing.
