Worst mac and cheese I have ever made. No flavor at all. I used 3 cups of premium cheese and it was so bland. Used new oil and all. May try with Patty Labelles mac and cheese but never "ladys".

these came amazingly delicious. I used boxed mac and cheese for my 1st attempt but followed the recipe for frying etc. Next I'll definitely twist it up a little. Make my own homemade mac and cheese but while its cooling off I'll throw in my small chunks of cheddar. That way after they are fried small gooey pieces of cheese will be there. Definitely making again soon!
