  1. nothing less than 5 stars, this is rich and very creamy, the only changes I made was I added in 1 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, mine was hot and bubbly baked in a convection oven in 25 minutes, great recipe thanks for sharing Sus!
     
  2. I have made this many times...but with a few changes. I fully double the cheese and sour cream. I also reduce the egg to one. I add 1 tsp onion powder and 1 T powdered chicken stock.....and I add a 1/2 c. Grated parmasean to the noodles. SO much yummier than the original! Give it a try. :)
     
  3. Didn't enjoy this macaroni much at all. I followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed with the results. Not creamy or gooey or cheesy or anything. Isn't macaroni supposed to be creamy and gooey and cheesy? This macaroni had the exact same texture as eggs..I like eggs but mac and cheese should never be eggy; i could barely eat it without gagging..also it was very bland and didn't even taste like it had cheese in it. I will never make this again, sorry Paula!
     
  4. Macaroni & cheese is one recipe that there are so many variations of so it's always fun to try a new one. I made as directed with subtle changes (just 2 eggs, added 1 Tbsp ground mustard and a some fresh ground pepper). I agree with some reviewers that it could be a bit cheesier, so if I make it again, I will double the cheese (and extra cup in the mix, and another one on top before baking). Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  5. DH and I love this. I think the sour cream gives it just that bit of kick it needs. That said, this is NOT a smooth and creamy mac and cheese. If that is your preference, this recipe is not for you. We liked the way each ingredient stands out and adds to the whole and are not big fans of really creamy (mushy in my mind - sorry!) mac and cheese.

  1. Made for KK's Kitchen Tag Game. I Love Paula Deen and anything credited to her I have got to try, and I am not sorry here. This was wonderfully delicious and not greasy at all. I did add the extra cheese on top which added even more to the wondeful cheesy flavor. The only thing I will change next time is instead of using a Medium Cheddar I will be sure to use a Sharp Cheddar as we like the stronger flavor of this. Thank you dear for a keeper in this recipe.
     
  2. After reading Redneck Epicurean's review I made this but used Velveeta cheese instead of Cheddar, for a very creamy, delicious Mac N Cheese. She was right, it was awesome!
     
  3. This was very easy and tasted good. My husband said it was the hit of the tailgate party he attended. However, if I made this again, I would use less eggs and substitute Velveeta for the sharp cheddar I used. It just wasn't creamy enough for me.
     
  4. This is fantastic! I had to make a bunch of substitutions, including using soy milk instead of milk, soy cheese instead of cheese, soy yogurt instead of sour cream, and Egg Beaters instead of the eggs. In other words, I completely changed this recipe, and it still turned out delicious! The egg gave it a really yummy taste and a great texture. I can't even imagine how good this would be with normal ingredients. This one's a keeper!
