Requested at every family function!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The key to success with this recipe is adjusting it to your taste. I have had nothing but compliments every time I make this.... So much so my uncle asked me to make some for his company party. I add extra cheese and salt and pepper it to my taste. I also use a combo of mild, sharp, extra sharp and colby cheese. Read more

Even a bunch of starving 16 yr old teen boys wouldn't eat it
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I am very disappointed in this recipe. I even went through all the reviews and incorporated suggestions. I did leave the... eggs, but cut back. It was still terrible. Had a quichy texture and was bland. I served this to hungry teen boys and was left with almost a full pan. My son, who loves mac and cheese asked me to not make it again. I usually love Paula' recipes, but this was a flop. I won't bother trying it again. Read more

Quichey Mac is more like it!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I do not understand how this has 4 stars. I wish I had come to the website before I attempted this recipe, TWICE. I watched... Ms. Deen make this as a guest on a morning tv program. It looked so good and creamy and all the hosts raved. What she made there could NOT have been this recipe. The taste and texture was that of quiche. I don't think macaroni and cheese should be able to be served as a solid block or slice. I even tried it a second time with only one egg, and it still wasn't macaroni and cheese! I cannot believe this exact same recipe is posted multiple times on this website.Read more

I shouldn't have even bothered
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I decided to make some homemade mac and cheese. I thought this would be a great recipe. I read all the reviews about... curdling and not being cheesy enough, but I thought I could figure out ways around that. Well, I was wrong. Mine came out curdled and just not tasty at all. I even added extra butter and american cheese in addition to the cheddar and it was still not smooth. I also cut down to one egg and even tempered it before adding it. In the future, I think I will use a more even american/cheddar mix and will cook it slowly with the butter and milk till it makes a creamy sauce then add it. I think Paula needs to come back and update this with the exact procedure she follows because something cannot be right.Read more
