This got mixed reviews at my house. Some liked it and some didn't. This was easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written. I did add pepper and I think it could have used a bit more milk to thin it out. -
Very good. I needed to add a little more milk to get it the right consistancy for us. I also used 8oz of American Cheese instead of the Velveeta. The family was impressed that I could make mac and cheese that wasn't orange colored! -
My daughter made this (with some coaching from mom ;o) for a cooking badge. It is very simple to do, even though she'd never made a white sauce before. The flavor was a bit flat, though; a mix of Velveeta and cheddar might help, as might baking it for 20-30 min at the end. She's very proud of herself for fixing a real Zaar recipe, though...thanks for posting! -
Very good- I cooked as directed, then placed in over to warm for 1/2 hour--it tasted even better after cooking longer!

<br>Cooking is not my passion, but I do like to try new recipes. There are enough recipes saved in my cookbook to keep me busy for a long time. Of course I keep adding more all the time. Recipezaar is my favorite cooking site.
