 Debora James (Alabama) says:
Good recipe!! I did not use the breadcrumb and garlic. I used the Colby Jack Cheese mixed with Cheddar Cheese into the mushroom soup. I cut up additional slices of mild and sharp cheese and spread it on top instead of the breadcrumbs. The kid's couldn't get enough.

Very good. My family only uses soy milk and we only get the vanilla kind. I needed a Mac n cheese recipe without milk. Not only did I get the recipe but it tasted great too. Thanks.

Good recipe. I did add 1/2 tsp dry mustard powder, 2 tsp. dried minced onion and 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce. I got that from a dear friend in Iowa. I also topped with buttered saltine cracker crumbs.

Every time I make it I try different cheeses, different creamed soups, instead of milk, add heavy cream or butter milk, and try adding a little blue cheese. Wow is it great!

First time making this and I think my husband has a new favorite mac and cheese. Easy to make. Used shell noodles and added a little more milk to make it a little less sticky. The taste is amazing. Having with ribs and green bean casserole. Love cream of mushroom.
