Inez, what a nifty casserole! I made this one evening on my camping trip. After a long day on the road, it was so easy to assemble and bake. It was a lovely brown coming out of the oven, and the whole crew loved the creamy, cheesey taste. A really good recipe that I plan on using again. I left the printed recipe in the rv so I can use it there too. Thanks! -
I made this recipe last night for supper, as it was cold and rainy here, and I wanted macaroni and cheese :) This recipe was delicious...It was easy to prepare, as I used left over chicken from dinner the night before...It was thick and creamy with cheese...gooey, just the way I love it..Instead of the green peppers, I added broccoli to mine. It was just GREAT!!! I would definately make this again, as my son loved it too! Thank you for another way to go with macaroni :) -
This was really yummy. I love Macaroni and cheese and this was total comfort food! It came out perfect and was so creamy and cheesy. I used leftover chicken from the night before. It sounds like the other reveiwer who didn't like this probably really overcooked her chicken and noodles. I only cooked the noodles until al dente and I used Kraft velveeta cubes and it came out great. Thanks for the recipe :) -
WOW! YUMMY! My husband and I just couldn't get enough of it! Incredibly cheesy and creamy though I had to use Raclette and Swiss as I didn't have any American. I'll cook this again and again-I'm sure! -
It was great! I chopped up an onion and fried it in the butter before adding the flour, and I used mature cheddar cheese instead of American. I also took a page from another recipe and put some of the cheese on top with some crushed crackers!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
