This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written and my family enjoyed it. My family told me that they thought I should leave out the nutmeg next time. They ate it and liked it but thought they would like it better without it. This was really creamy with not being too cheesy. -
Very good macaroni and cheese. The sauce is easy to make and when adding the salt be careful as the cheese is salty too. Nice creamy cheese sauce without an overwhelming Velveeta flavor like in the store bought brands. I have enjoyed this and my grandson will too. Thank you Lainey6605 for posting your recipe, I will be making it again. Made and reviewed for the Kids Friendly Recipe Tag Game.
