This was ok. I followed recipe exactly, and the consistency was nothing like what paula made on the episode, it was more like a baked mac and cheese texture. Mine was not creamy like hers was, it was kind of clumpy almost, I don't know. Anyway, the flavor was pretty good, and I added bacon bits when I served it and my kids gobbled it up. Had to separate this into 8 servings because the whole pot was about 3,325 calories, so one serving ended up being about 416 calories. Not sure why it didn't look like hers though, kind of disappointed.

I made this last weekend for a get-together for about 20-25 people, mostly kids. So I doubled the recipe. I did take the advice of others, and made some adjustments: added 1 c diced up onion (cooked first in the butter, before adding the cheese used Kraft Natural Triple Cheddar; eliminated eggs; used 1 c 1% milk+1 c buttermilk (all I had and added 1 teasp smoked paprika. Was very good - very, very cheesy! I felt like my arteries were going to clog up, so I would like to reduce some of the fat next time - all that butter is not necessary (sorry Paula!, and will eliminate or use lite sour cream. The onion and paprika was a nice touch - added some depth to the flavors, so the cheese wouldn't be overwhelming. The onion was chopped finely so the kids wouldn't notice. Would definitely make again, esp with large groups, a potluck, party, etc.

I made this last week and I am making again tonight, My husband loved this and so did I, I did listen to the reviews and did not put the eggs in. I put my crock pot on high most of the time and it was done in 2 hours. if you taste it before its not done it does not taste very good, bus as soon as its done its the best mac n cheese I ever had! I used real mustard also, and whole milk!!

I love this recipe! I don't use the eggs, sour cream, or mustard. I usually make a larger batch and have also baked it in the oven. Ive never left it cooking for 3 hours, 2 Max. If the Pasta is already cooked you only need to cook with cheese so it melted and blended. Ive used white pepper before too, different flavor than black, very good. Ive adapted this recipe to suit my families likes and dislikes. I often use recipes I find on here as my "map" to get a good basis to make something amazing. May try the bacon the next time, sounds good

I tried to cut the fat and calories by using 2% Reduced Fat cheese and cutting the amount of butter, but this plan resulted in a congealed glob that had to be thrown away. Sadly, a lot of butter is needed to keep the melted cheese more than viscous. I had shredded monterey jack in the fridge so used that in my second attempt, and it turned out just fine. As per other reviewers, I left out the egg. Also left out the mustard and used lowfat milk. Increased the recipe by 50%, so used 3 cups of macaroni, etc., to make a meal for the entire family. The kids loved it, and it is creamy and tasty, but I wish I could find a healthier version that my entire family likes.

I made this recipe (without the egg for a potluck at work and it was a hit! Everyone asked me for the recipe. A week later I ended up making it again, but for family and friends and they loved it too! It truly was so easy to make. This will be one of my favorite dishes to pass, from now on.

The recipe was definitely creamy; however, the soup made the entire recipe taste processed. I've never been a fan of boxed mac and cheese and this is what it tasted like to me. I did leave out the eggs which should only effect the consistency, not taste. I wonder if using Velveeta cheese instead of the soup would make it better. It's possible.

The best mac & cheese I've ever had. I double the recipe and add 1 lb. of cooked bacon and everyone who tastes it falls in love with it. In 2 weeks we're going camping and as there's going to be electricity in our tent camp site I'm taking my crock pot and the makings for this mac and cheese.
