I doubled the recipe and used rigatoni instead of elbows. If you are a cheese lover rigatoni is the way to go because the insides fill up with cheese and its very good. Only other thing I did different was threw some shredded Mozzarella on top that we had left over. It was a huge hit, everybody loved it.

This is a good Velveeta basic recipe. I leave out the salt and sprinkle the top with shredded sharp cheddar then breadcrumbs. Sometimes I do add cut-up ham. I am 75 and my mother made it this way.

We added ground sausage to the this macaroni, it was very good.

Very good recipe. My husband is a very picky eater and he chowed down on this. I will be putting this one in my recipe book. Could have used a little more salt but that can be added to liking.

My Husband loved this.. he said it was the best home made mac and cheese he has ever had.

Very disappointed! Made it exactly the way the recipe said and there was hardly a cheese taste at all. Definitely needs more cheese.

I don't think 8 ounces of Velveeta would have been enough. So I added an extra four ounces of Velveeta and about two cups of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese. And for the breadcrumb topping I doubled the breadcrumbs and the butter. It tastes really good. I'm keeping this recipe, but with my own twist on it with the extra cheese and breadcrumbs. Without the extra sharp cheddar cheese, I think the recipe would have tasted a little bland. I strongly recommend adding different types of extra cheese.

Made it tonight for a very picky husband! We both loved it! I also doubled the cheese, and I also used Italian seasoned bread crumbs for a little more flavor!

add 1/2 cup best foods mayo and 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar to basic recipe... agree that no salt should be added to boiling noodle water... top with slices of cheddar cheese for "cheesy" look.

It was easy and quick and went great with a ham and baked beans just what I was looking for! Also women like Karen butcher need a hobby! I searched for "easy" not look at me I'm different....jeez lady!

I added ground venison and it came out really good!!

Been making this for parties, everyone always requests it now! I do leave out the salt and it comes out amazing!

I substituted sour cream for the milk and it was great! I also added dry mustard (1/4 tsp. Coleman's) and it was really good!

Instead of bread crumbs I used crushed garden herb croutons. Yum.

This turned out perfect. Didn't use breadcrumbs tho... So easy, loved it!!
