Very versatile recipe!! I added tiny ham cubed and baked it in muffin tins topped with the bread crumbs!! Soooo good and the little muffins were fun to eat! But I agree with the one who said no more salt... cut it out and the taste is perfect!

I also added more velveeta and less milk and flour and cut out the salt. I added cubed ham and a mix of panko and italian breadcrumbs with butter for the top. It came out great!

I made this a couple weeks ago then I decided it needed to be kicked up a couple of notches. I used 2.5 c half milk & half heavy whipping cream to use it up, I did about 3/4 lb of velveeta, had a couple chunks of pepper jack & sharp cheddar, just to get clean out the fridge. THEN I sauteed a finely minced shallot, a finely minced Cubanel (mild chili) pepper in 3 tb butter, but the piece de resistance was a finely minced chipotle pepper. Then I used about a half cup of panko & mixed it with the melted butter, baked 20 min at 400. OMG!! If you're looking for something different this is definitely it. My family RAVED about it for days. A definite twist on a delicious classic. Bon Appetit!!

Great, quick recipe. I doubled it, and added onion to the sauce. I also pan-toasted panko bread crumbs and sprinkled shredded cheddar jack on top before I spread the bread crumbs on top of the casserole. Great recipe!

This recipe is awesome. I wanted to take full credit but I just gave myself a thumb up for following the directions as they were given. :) Really good tho!!! My 5 y.o. son loves m&c and is really picky about it too but he ate it all. I think that next time i'll add bacon but it's great without, 2 thumbs up!

 David (Massachusetts) says:
Thanks for the recipe we gobbled it for dinner this very night! It's pretty good.
I'd skip the added salt as Velveeta is very salty. Also, I found this recipe to provide too much cheese sauce and not enough noodles. I recommend doubling the recipe and increasing the noodles by about 1/3. After all we're not making this for two, the kids need some too!
Thanks again
