Reviews & Comments

This macaroni and cheese has gotten a few negative reviews but I beg to differ. I made it for my boyfriend paired with green beans garnished with almonds. I didn't have any flour on hand so I used the Bisquick Heartsmart mix instead to avoid going to the store. I also substituted the Cayenne for Chili powder. To the milk mixture I added a tablespoon of Philly cream cheese after I had heated up the milk to thicken the sauce. To add a bit of mac crust I I sprinkled with some extra cheese and panko breadcrumbs (a good amount, about 1/3 cup) before putting into the oven. My boyfriend and I thought it turned out awesome- nice and crusty top if you like that in your mac. I will be making this again.

One spoon rating is being generous...Really craving mac & cheese I was excited to try this. After reading the reviews I to used a lot more cheese than asked, about 3 cups. That still wasn't enough! After probably 5 cups worth of cheese it was still bland tasting. I even added bacon bits for some flavor. I'm not sure if I didn't cook the first milk, flour, etc. mixture long enough or what but the dish turned out a very "grainy" texture that was unbearable! I've never really made a dish that was so gross I couldn't finish, but tonight this one was it :( This recipe was a huge disappointment!

This was okay but a little too bland. Add salt and more cheese please!

RE tjg78 & ashptart: Here is some advice from the kitchen to spice it up: Just add more of any of the seasonings: (1) Go up to: 1 ½ teaspoons or even 2 teaspoons of mustard. (2) ½ teaspoon salt (unless you are watching your sodium) and pepper. (3)Be sure to use the “sharp” Cheddar called for in the recipe. (4) Chopped fresh herbs would make a nice addition: parsley, thyme, basil or any other of your favorite herbs.

Just got done making the dish and had about a cup just so I can say I tried it. It......was....so...YUCKY! Absolutely no taste, bland and I check Kraft mac and cheese and it has less calories prepared than this dish. So I think I will stick to my box mac and powder cheese. I was excited to make this so I am so very disappointed.
