I made this and it turned out great. Baked it alittle longer and stirred it twice. Reduced amount of cheese-still came out good.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"10\/24\/2010 16:42","GUID":"5d983f94d06e4b2f85c61983dc9d7466","MemberId":1677541,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"vbanfield@msn.com","SubmittedDate":"10\/24\/2010 16:42"},{"Comment":"

I followed the recipe word for word and found it to be greasy and not the best flavor, kind of chewy was one reaction.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"10\/20\/2010 14:03","GUID":"ec3d594bda7d44a0955321645385ce55","MemberId":4095810,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"ccdse","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2010 14:02"},{"Comment":"

This is the ultimate in no-fuss!! Boil water and butter, toss in macaroni, cheeses and spices - 45 minutes later, an absolutely awesome mac'n'cheese that is usually eaten in one sitting by my family of four. My daughter tries to have a leftover serving to take for school lunch. My only change is reducing the butter to 2 tablespoons and I also add 1 cup of sour cream. Gotta try this one!!<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"03\/30\/2010 15:27","GUID":"527b27262e684957a35ea9979ba41202","MemberId":4233335,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"JakeFell","SubmittedDate":"03\/30\/2010 15:27"},{"Comment":"

When I made this it went badly...pulled it out of the oven and it was watery with clumps of cheese. Thought dinner was ruined but I had a can of cheese soup in the cupboard. Poured it in, heated for a few more minutes, and dinner was served. Not only that but the kids LOVED it.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"11\/08\/2009 23:22","GUID":"bc88db01efc240afbe8b321cf687a22f","MemberId":2581325,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mysticgirl5","SubmittedDate":"11\/08\/2009 23:22"},{"Comment":"

I made this for a friend and she absolutely loved it. My daughter was jealous and asked me to make it for her. I am making it tonight so that we can experience this.
