Ginger Marszalek from Southwick, MA

My laziness finally paid off! I usually cook with whole milk and didn't have any and didn't feel like going out to the store to get some. Then I remembered I had some carnation evap milk and found this website and wow! I made this for lunch and it was sooooo good!! Rich and creamy and delicious! And, very easy to prepare. I will definately make this again. I think even my grandson will perfer it over that boxed "orange" kind! Thank you Carnation!! I will be buying lots more evap milk!
quick mac-n-cheese

d urciolo from scottsville, VA

It's very good and VERY easy ... and ingredients you're most likely going to have on-hand ! I think I would add a little less cheese or a little more milk next time ... a little too gooey for me. But definitely a do-again !

Super easy

Brandy Gronas from Dearborn Heights, MI

This was super easy to make and it was really good. The only thing is the dry mustard. I think next time I make it, I will use less.
Surprisingly Rich

Samantha Drab from North Wales, PA

This dish has a surprising richness not normally found in the usual "mac & cheese" recipes; it's definitely a keeper!

Top of stove mac&cheese

Mary Garriss from APPOMATTOX, VA

For some reason I had stopped adding Carnation evaporated milk in my Macaroni & Cheese. I came across this recipe, and tried it. Nice, creamy and so easy. Mac & Cheese is a family favorite, which we have often.
Better than the box

Andy Hernandez from SURPRISE, AZ

This recipe was easy and good i would say better than the box stuff !
Robbie Rego Sacramento, Ca

Robbie Rego from SACRAMENTO, CA

This had a wonderful taste with the evaporated milk and the cheese; although i used a less sharp cheese. The flavor was wonderful and the texture was great. Now if I don't want to I don't have to heat uo the house with the oven.

I made this for supper and it was so good it went very well with the other things I fixed for supper. There was none of it left, thats how good it was.
Extra good, extra good for you.

Nann Thomson from AVON, CT

I had my class make this. It was great to be able to make a recipe that was nutritionally "fortified" (evaporated milk, cheese AND eggs) that the teens really enjoyed. I'll make it at home for my family.

Fran Godaire from ENFIELD, CT

Barbara Dillarad from HOUSTON, TX

The very best. Mac & cheese is a favorite in my family. This recipe is so quick and easy . Great when time is limited
Really creamy!

Louise Graybiel from TORONTO, ON

This is an excellent (and fast) mac & cheese. If you have any leftovers (a rarity), they are great baked in the oven with some frozen broccoli flowerets and a little extra shredded cheese on top.
Macaroni & Cheese

SUSAN PETERSON from Ceres, CA

This is way better than any boxed Mac & Cheese and it's just as easy!! I love the slightly spicy flavor and so did my kids. They liked it better than the boxed Mac & Cheese.
Nice and creamy

Patty Auricchio from RIDGEWAY, ON

This is a very creamy mac and cheese recipe. I had been looking for one that would stay creamy and not get dry and this is a keeper.
easy

evelyn merkle from ashuelot, NH

i can't believe how easy this recipe was.creamy.
Add Chicken broth to spice up the flavor

Debby Krebs from Luray,, VA

This is a fast and tasty recipe. I also have found that by adding small amounts of chicken broth to this recipe it enhances the flavor. The amount you add will depend upon the amount you are making.

mac and cheese with my 6 year old

suzanne heffner from Allen, TX

I made this for dinner with my kitchen-experienced son who just turned 6 years old. Except for opening the can of evap milk, he did it all by himself with me watching. He even read the directions himself!! I love being in the kitchen with him, and the recipes here at VeryBestBaking.com give us even more opportunities for fun!

I tried this recipe two different ways and liked it best when the dry mustard and hot sauce where omitted.

Tracy Caufield from Marshfield, MO

Although this was very easy to make I didn't like the taste of it. My husband did though, but I probably won't make it again if both of us do not like it.
A lenten quicky?

denise bergert from Alliance, OH

I tried this recipe over the weekend. It is lent time at our house and I figured that this would be an easy recipe to fix for our lenten meal. My family did not care for this. It was a little to cheesy and bland for our taste.
