This is not an outaback copycat. Have not made it, but just looking at ingredients i know it's not it. Having eaten there many, many times, i can tell you it has a blend of two cheese's. one white and one yellow but i haven't figured them out yet. I keep on searching recipe sites and to no avail yet......

I've never had the Outback Mac and Cheese, but this recipe is a keeper, and anyone who loved the box stuff (me) would probably like this. A couple of things I did different, I used cornstarch instead of flour, and added more salt and pepper as well. The cheese sauce seems to look very thin when cooking but comes out great. Thanks for the recipe!

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy.
I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
