I've been working on my mac and cheese for years, happy to settle for "edible", but this recipe got me rave reviews. My husband said it added 10 years to our marriage. I'm grateful I found it. Other recipes with flour here or cornstarch there... too many chances for me to mess it up and I'm not a terrible cook, just inexperienced. I did add a couple of eggs and loved the texture. The hint for adding milk to avoid drying as needed... also came in handy!

I was looking for an easy homemade mac and cheese recipe to fix for my family. This is by far the easiest and simplest one that I've found. So many of the others call for too many ingredients. I printed out the recipe, and will certainly make it.

Lesta (Missouri) says:

Only thing I did different was to melt the Velveeta with some of the milk first. That just made it easy to stir all together. Cheesy-licious!
4 cups uncooked macaroni is supposed to equal 1 pound, but I thought that was too much, so I didn't add all of it.

Tracey Freeman (Tennessee) says:

My family enjoyed the mac 'n cheese. I just made it yesterday. I do not eat cheese therefore I could not taste the mixture as I prepared it. This was a dinner party so I was nervous. When people go back for seconds, you've got your answer. I had never made mac 'n cheese before. Thanks for this recipe.

Krystal (Massachusetts) says:

This recipe is amazing! I've made it a few times and is just great. I add maple bacon. Cut into pieces and pan fry it until it has a crisp to it. I also add garlic powder and parsley flakes for some more flavor. Also instead of evaporated milk I used about a 1/4 cup of cream.
