  1. You can't beat a bunch of melted cheeses on noodles. That being said, there wasn't any real wow factor to this recipe. That didn't stop me from eating every bore on my plate!
     
  2. This recipe was great. I couldn't find the American cheese so I used Monterray Jack. I also added about a cup more noodles but that was more so because the pan was a little too big and it looked empty. Everyone loved it!
     
  3. LOVED it. I didn't add the eggs, though - I was afraid that would take the creaminess away.
     
  4. I found this to be a little bland & it had a unusual texture for macaroni. I did melt the butter as suggested by Lainey. Made for 123 HITS
     
  5. Very creamy and tasty indeed! This was a snap to put together. I used salted butter because I didn't have the unsalted. I just omitted the salt in the recipe. I love the combination of cheeses in this. I do think I would melt the butter next time before adding to the rest of the ingredients because it got kind of clumpy. Thanks for sharing!

I am a retired school teacher and live in Hemingway, South Carolina, which is about 40 miles from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I taught Family and Consumer Sciences(formerly,Home Economics). I now work at the Boys &amp; Girls Club of America here in my hometown. I also am a substitute teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher. <BR><BR>I enjoy cooking, especially for friends and family. I even prepare meals for my co-workers and take to work. They really enjoy them. Some foods I prepare, they have never had. My biggest meal of the year is at Christmas. Since I am not married and no children, my mother (since my father passed in 2003) and brother and his family comes for Christmas dinner. He has 8 children (whom are all grown up) and 7 grandchildren. So, I begin preparing,making the menu, buying items for dinner the day after Thanksgiving. <BR><BR><BR><IMG
