This was really easy to make, even with my limited cooking experience. I thought the texture was just right, but it does taste like something that is healthy.

As I was making this I thought it was odd that there was no rue as part of the recipe, but followed directions and then added some of my own extra flavors for some more kick. The flavor overall was great, but the texture...you could literally see the cheese falling off the noodle. Ironically it stuck to everything else! My wife was worn out after scrubbing all the silverware and dishes to remove the cheese which had started to form almost a paste on the plates; even though she washed them right away to prevent that from happening!

The pot that the cornstarch has been put in was the worst. She couldn't clean it, then she boiled water in it to loosen some of the cornstarch. She still couldn't clean it. Literally tried scrubbing for half an hour before we soaked it overnight. I was able to eventually get it off, but mac and cheese should be something fun to make, not a nightmare to clean up!

I'll use some of the flavoring ideas again, and I'll use some of these shortcuts, but sometimes the extra fat is worth the price! I'll never make this recipe as-is again.

Yuck. Tastes like squash and macaroni, not like cheese at all. If you want anything that resembles old fashioned Mac and Cheese, look elsewhere.

How can this be slim when I can have a packet of EasyMac for 64% of the calories of this recipe? Why more work for more calories? I agree that the taste is probably better but for my effort I?m going with EasyMac.

I'm an amateur, and I can do better than this. Low fat cheese generally is tasteless, so forget it. And you might as well use water as skim milk. Grate 6 ounces of the very sharpest regular cheddar you can find. Omit the butter, herbs and nutmeg and use 1% lowfat milk. The results will be MUCH better and the nutrition profile will be similar.

Nothing to write home about. Kraft has more flavor. I love hot dog casserole, this even with whole milk is lacking flavor. I even put onions in it, it didn't help.
