What a marvelous indulgence. I used whole wheat rotini and cut the butter back to 2T just to save a few. This is so rich with cheese I don't think I'd even notice if I were to use fat free evaporated milk next time. I thought the seasoning was perfect and the creamy texture was to-die-for.

I found this okay but will not make it again. The flavor was not comfort food enough for our family. The mustard and hot sauce just didn't work for us.

I love this recipe. It is so cheesy abnd doesn't seperate when re-heated like other mac and cheeses can. Wonderful!

Out of 7 kids, 4 loved it, and 3 didn't like it. My 5 yo said it tasted like eggs. I might try this one again but double everything except the eggs. Thanks.

Yet another reason to ADORE Alton Brown. This recipe was so delicious and so easy to make! I used an entire 16 oz. box of elbow macaroni and 3 cups of shredded cheese and it still was creamy and cheesy. My boyfriend and I loved it! Thanks for posting!

Mmmmmm mmmmmm! This is delicious! I grew up on boxed mac and cheese, but like many folks I'm trying to seriously reduce my intake of processed foods. As much as I ADORE baked mac and cheese, my husband and I both frequently want mac and cheese spontaneously. This is the perfect recipe for quick, yummy mac and cheese! My husband went back for seconds... I don't think I've ever seen him do that before! I've made it successfully with both dry mustard and regular mustard. I put however much cheese looks good to me, usually about 8 oz. I've used cheddar, a melting blend, monterey, colby, mexican blend... It's a great way to use up all those handfuls of shredded cheeses that always haunt my deli drawer. I'm never going to touch boxed mac and cheese again!

I was in a pinch because my extremely picky 8 year old wanted mac and cheese and I had no boxed ones on hand. I decided to give this a try and he loved it! I didnt tell him it wasnt boxed but he gobbled it all up and asked for seconds. I used white pepper instead of black pepper (for fear of being busted). I also used whole grain macaroni and 2% kraft cheese.

my 17 month old daughter was enjoying every bite, and so was I! Very rich - I couldn't even finish one plate. But then, rich is good, when it comes to mac and cheese.

The recipe is well written, easy to folow, with not too many ingredients. I thought it tasted too cheesy, but the rest of my family thought it was good. I think next time I may increase the amount of macaroni. Thank you.

I really liked this. I did however leave out the hot sauce and added about a tsp of Garlic pepper. Nice and creamy and really easy to make!
