I love this recipe...It is easy and can be fixed in a flash.. It tastes lighter than your white sauce, roux based mac.... For a twist, we like to add chopped fresh jalepeno and chopped cilantro.

Followed the recipe to a T and it came out PERFECT! Though I did add about a half pound of chopped bacon to the mix. The family thought it was to DIE for!

This is a great recipe. I added a half block (4 oz. of cream cheese that I had that I needed to use. I will make this recipe often. Thanks Paula.

I was hoping for macaroni and cheese like we had at Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah. This was not creamy enough. One of our sons did like it.

The final product was exactly the mac & cheese I set out to find! It was thick/dense and I think the egg added that texture I was looking for! For a little dimension, I would like to add a combination of cheeses next time and see what kind of a mac & cheese that creates!

It was awesome! I did not need to cover it, I used Ina's trick of placing a deep dish baking pan on the rack below the mac filled half way with water so it kind of works as a steam. Ina's trick is for meatloaf. I love this recipe! My husband and son do too! I have a bit of a dairy problem so I used Tofutti Sour Cream, unsweetened soy milk, and Earth Balance instead of butter. I did use real shredded cheddar (word to the wise: Always shred your own, the pre-shredded never melts the same because it's coated with an anti-clotting powder. Anyway, the next night, we had it for dinner, only the mac and cheese. It needs no friends on the table. They'd just be neglected anyway. Haha! Great and easy recipe!!

DO YOU NEED TO COVER THE MACARONI AND CHEESE BEFORE YOU BAKE IT?

It came out really good I just added more cheese. I used a pack of cheddar cheese and a pack of a 4 cheese blend (Cheddar,america,monteray jack and muenster. I also used evaporated milk instead (b/c my family likes a little sweetness to their mac/cheese.

I chose this recipe because it seemed relatively easy. I modified it a bit - more sour cream and milk. The milk was reduced fat and the sour cream was light. It was still pretty good. Not the best, but still good.
