    This was very good and easy to make. I didn't add the onion because I was lazy. My son who doesn't like mac and cheese ate two helpings and said make this again. The flavors of the three cheeses were great. Thanks Kari!

    My family is hugely into mac and cheese, and I am always looking for new recipes so we don't have the "same old same old" over and over again. I think we have found something we will stick with for quite a while. The three cheeses combine to make a wonderful tasting dish. We don't have American cheese where I live so I substituted a regular yellow cheese. Instead of bread crumbs I used onion-flavored cracker crumbs as the topping. I upped the quantities to serve 10, although our family of 6 inhaled it all at one sitting. I see I'm going to have to up it to at least 16 next time! Thanks for posting this Kari, you may have helped me create a monster!

    This was by far the best mac and cheese I've ever had. I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it sooner as I have made it many many times and everytime it turns out perfect; this is my staple mac and cheese recipe. Don't be fooled by the amounts, it doesn't seem like enough macaroni at first but it does end up making four generous servings.
