This is old-fashioned macaroni and cheese like your mother and grandmother used to make back during the 40's and 50's! Comfort food at it's finest and one of my favorite dishes! We had this recipe tonight for supper. Can't add or change a thing. Perfect.

WONDERFUL!! Very easy to make especially the 2nd time around. My 2 year old gobbles it up! I think it tastes even better the 2nd day when re-heated in the microwave so its perfect for a "make ahead" meal.

Oh Yeah - this was very good - nice and creamy - I loved it. I didn't even wait to bake it - just ate it right out of the pan after cooking it.

An easy-to-fudge-on recipe! I substituted evaporated milk for the cream and other cheeses for the Colby. It seems there was too much flour in my roux, so I'll decrease that (or increase butter) next time. Otherwise, a great, keeper-of-a-recipe with a short baking time. Thanks!

Very good mac and cheese recipe. I didn't have colby so I used sharp cheddar. And I used 2% milk in place of the cream. Yummy!!

Was damn close, as least as i remember. I used about a 1/3 velveeta. My family loved it and i will definitely do it again

No one in my house liked this one. The sauce was bland and slightly grainy textured. I followed the recipe exactly. Perhaps I went wrong when adding the cream as I added the entire 1/2 cup and had no idea what the "desired consistency" was.

Excellent roux recipe by adding the broth. I did not have so I used a boullion cube and a cup of water. I aslo did not havecolby cheese. So I used extra sharp 6 oz, 1/2 parmesan cheese and 2 slices of american. Added pepper to roux. This is a great base for hiomemade mac & cheese. Thanks Mel T

I loved it...tho it didnt do much for putting it in the oven....I have made it a few times sience and as long as you eat it right after you make it you won't be disappointed. If it sets for too long the sauce gets a little chunky....but good tho!

This is a good recipe for easy mac and cheese but it is nothing like Cracker Barrel's so my search continues.
