The name of this recipe is "The Lady's Cheesy Mac". I think the Food Network should consider changing the name of the recipe to "The Lady's Curdled Mac". This mac and cheese wasn't too bad; it was cheesy and creamy. Wait, let me take that back . These were cheesy, creamy scrambled eggs. As I had predicted, the heat of the oven cooked the eggs, and when I served it, you could clearly see them. When I served this at dinner, I was embarrassed. In the video recipe, Paula Deen mentions that the addition of sour cream and milk is to cool the macaroni down. Maybe not enough. Next time I will make these, IF there will be a next time, I will try and cool them in the fridge for about 5 to 10 minutes, before adding the sour cream and milk to cool them down completely. Just a tip: don't make this recipe. It is a waste of time and money. Shocking and embarrassing

This was excellent! It should be five stars, but people who eat the creamy kind of mac and cheese don't seem to understand- this is how we do it in the south. It "sets up"; we don't make a roux or a sauce for it. If you want the creamy stuff, look elsewhere- If you want good southern mac & cheese, this is a great recipe!

I've been making this for a few years now. My sons just love this recipe, it weaned them off the 'blue box' forever. Only now when I try other mac and cheese recipes they ask me why didn't I make the 'good one', so now this is the only recipe I make.

I usually love Paula Deen recipes, but this was not one of them. I followed the recipe pretty precisely, but it was not creamy, as I was expecting, and I think it called for more eggs than needed. I later tried another mac & cheese recipe from a different website which starts with a roux, then adds milk & cream, then you add your cheese to the mix and lots of it - now that was delicious!

Reduced eggs to just one, otherwise followed recipe exactly. My 14 yr old son said "Mom, throw out all of our other mac and cheese recipes - this is the best!". Creamy, cheesy and delicious. Reheats well, too.

This is a good mac and cheese and I do like the texture of the baked cheese on top. I do think it need more cheese (I know..I know and it was a bit bland...

This is a very "solid" macaroni and cheese. Made it exactly like directions. Had good flavor, but not creamy like I was looking for.
