Fabulous! This recipe is very easy to adapt for smaller or larger groups. Any cheese or combination of cheeses will do and as far as I am concerned, the sky's the limit vis a vis spices... Great recipe and a million thanks for posting it, ~JB4~!!

We've tried many different recipes and this one is the best. Made it exactly to recipe. Used crushed Corner Bakery Croutons on top which gave it a kick. Yum!

Simple but delicious comfort food! I used wheat macaroni in mine with just an ounce or two of mixed pasta (I was short some macaroni) and it was wonderful. Very easy to make as well. It is important to keep the sauce off the heat when adding the cheese, because if cheese cooks too much in a sauce, it will become grainy. Everyone loved this. Thanks for posting!
