This recipe deserves 5 stars because it really is the easiest homemade macaroni and cheese ever! It also tasted really good. I baked mine in a lower oval casserole and wonder if this makes a difference as the milk was above all of the noodles when I put it in the oven. My noodles turned out perfectly...Not hard, not mushy but soft and slightly chewy. This is very mild but that is nice sometimes. It was a little greasy when just out of the oven but that went away after sitting. I liked this even better the next day reheated. I used 3 cups lowfat milk and 1 cup of half and half and everything else the same. I would like trying it with less butter and perhaps monterey jack cheese and green chilies...It will be a fun recipe to play with as it's so easy! Thank you so much for this recipe and I hope more people try it. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

My family loved this macaroni and cheese! I used a mixture of sharp and colby cheeses and a little extra pepper and it tasted yummy. I was a bit skeptical about not cooking the macaroni beforehand, but it turned out perfect. I'm going to make this mac and cheese all the time.

This mac & cheese is so simple and SO GOOD!!! Couldn't believe how great it was!! It took me about 5 minutes to prepare (and that's counting shredding the cheese!!! ) - used low-fat mozzarella and low-fat milk. Put it in the oven for an hour and voila - perfect mac & cheese! Thanks Lainey!

This recipe is great. Everyone loved it AND it's very easy to make. I used whole wheat macaroni and as I was a bit shy of 2 cups of cheddar I topped up with grated mozzarella

This macaroni and cheese tastes great. I used shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 2% milk. The macaroni turned out just right for us and the cheese melted perfectly. My kids really enjoyed this when I made it for lunch and went back for more. The simplicity of this recipe can't be beat, either. I will be using this recipe many more times.

I really hate to give bad reviews, but unfortunately my family just did not like this dish. I was so excited when I saw you didn't have to cook the noodles first, and it was super easy to put together. I made the recipe exactly as stated. The noodles were kind of chewy, the taste was rather bland, and the whole thing was very, very greasy and lumpy. I was disappointed because I am always looking for an easier way to make baked mac and cheese (my favorite) but I think for now I'll stick with cooking the macaroni first and making a basic white sauce for a smoother consistency.

I followed the receipe exactly as written. The cheese did not melt...it curdled. The kids would not eat it...had to throw it out.

This was a little dry and not as creamy as I had expected. I will use more butter the next time. Also, I didn't mix cheeses; I only used sharp. I will absolutely put in the other kinds.
