i have tried many mac-n-cheese variations over the years and this one simply rocked. maybe it was dumb luck, or the condensed milk, or the altitude. whatever, this dish was a huge hit with my family. i didn't add the hot sauce for reasons of homespace security, but with my own second serving i not only added hot sauce but crumbled bacon as well.
i am seriously considering adding kielbasa slices to this. just for fun.

I did not like this. I was going for something more mild flavored like Noodles & Company, since my kids will scarf that stuff down. I used "extra sharp" cheddar, but it was too sharp. Perhaps I would have preferred the "medium" that we typically use for shredded cheese. But the kids couldn't get enough of the cheese while I was shredding it! Also, the hot sauce was a little too much, in my opinion.
However, the recipe went together very well. After boiling the noodles, I put them back in the pot, off the heat, and stirred in the butter. Then I added the milk/egg mixture and stirred that into the noodles. I added the cheese, and then put it back on the low heat until the cheese was melted. It worked perfectly. The cheese sauce was very liquidy when fresh off the stove, but sitting a few minutes let it thicken up.

This was very yummy! The dish was very creamy and very easy to make. I followed others' advice; tempered the eggs in the milk and shredded the block of cheese. Not being a salt fan, I waited until done before I added salt to taste; probably only 1/2 teaspoon. I also like just a tiny pinch of nutmeg in my pasta. I didn't have any elbow macaroni on hand so I used penne pasta. It was just as tasty! It will be interesting to try it with a blend of cheeses, too. Beats the heck out of that boxed stuff! Thanks, Alton.

I just made this mac & cheese about 20 minutes ago for the first time and am very pleased.
I do not like baked mac & cheese, so was thrilled to find this recipe.
Thank you Alton!

I use half shredded cheddar, and half velveeta. It just makes the whole dish creamier. I also only use half of the margarine. Best mac n cheese ever!

Wow. Waaay too much salt. Could have done 1/2 tsp. and been fine. Also too much cheese. Even my daughter, who treats cheese as a separate food group, felt it was too "cheesy." Added a few breadcrumbs on top and cut up cherry tomatoes. Without less cheese and salt, it could be a five-star recipe. Will plan to double next time with my changes.

I love to cook, and cook a lot.... I'm not sure what I'm missing about the 5stars on this recipe but I just flat out thought it was BAAAAD. Even with shredding my own block cheese. And tempering the eggs. And following the directions. Give me Kraft-in-a-box over this. Any day.
