Since this is my recipe, of course I'm going to rate it 5 stars! Lol... Just a few notes though: I usually use the American cheese slices, and just break them up into little pieces. More recently, I've used Rienzi kids macaroni with carrot and squash to add the vegetable factor, lol. Also, while the bread crumbs add that extra oomph, they're not totally necessary. But when you add the crumbs, I sometimes put a sliver of butter on the corners of the pan, just so it doesn't burn. Hope you guys love it! (whenever possible, use low fat/reduced fat products... it comes out just as great!) The cover photo is from the first time I made it, and I have since improved my presentation, lol.

I used penne pasta instead of elbow Macaroni n I think it came out just as good. U can add bread crumbs to this recipe. If you choose too mid way through cooking cover mac n cheese with foil so the bread crumbs don't burn. U can also add bacon, ham or tomatoes before putting it in the oven as well. ;)

This is a meal that any kid would love. I know because my kids love mac and cheese. It's so easy to make that you can serve this once a week to your kids. Adults would enjoy this as well. Happy cooking!

My moms mac & cheese. The best I've ever had. Anytime I make it to share everyone asks for the recipe.

Awesome! And super simple! :positive I used real bacon, bacon bits, by Hormel to save even more time!

Very simple recipe. All my family and friends demand I bring my "mac and crack" to gatherings and it never gets wasted. I reduced down the recipe to make a family sized portion!

My first mac and cheese recipe.

Literally the best baked Mac & Cheese you will ever have.

I made this because my family loves baked mac and cheese. Both of my parents say it reminds them of when they were kids. Good endorsment.

This recipe is inspired by Ree Drummand the Pioneer Woman. I took her recipe and tweaked it. I added my grandma’s Mac and cheese touches. Yummy

This is the real gold. Tried for years to get a picture of a full dish. Sorry this is the best i can do.This recipe is easily doubled if you need more.
