A little dry
I added some crab meat to this recipe which gave it a nice flavor, but I found the final product to be a little dry. Next time I will bake it at a lower temperature, then it will be perfect!

So Satisfying
I have a family of seven, so this recipe needed to be increased. I served it with a spinich salad and warm homemade bread. On a chilly evening, it was perfect for even my picky eater.

ed Macaroni and Cheese
Had high expectations -- especially after I stirred the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce. After baking is was quite bland and could have used only 1/2 of the bread crumbs. I'll keep looking for a "keeper" mac and cheese recipe...

Yummy Mac & Cheese
This was fantastic!! I love homemade macaroni and cheese and this was one of the best. I don't like onions so I omitted that but added 1/2 cup more shredded cheddar cheese. It was beyond delish! I can't wait to make this for the next family gathering.
