I had to use pre-shredded cheese because I just had shoulder surgery and if it's appreciably better with shredding it yourself I'm in big trouble. Made this recipe exactly as written - so easy to make and remember! Couldn't find jumbo mac so I used the cavatappi you suggest, which is the perfect bite size. Gotta find a way to get this macaroni monkey off my back or I'll be shopping for a muu-muu real soon! Seriously AWESOME recipe.

This is my favorite recipe. I had the best Mac/cheese ever at my dad's memorial and when I made this it totally reminded me of that. I do NOT like the velvetta, runny Mac/cheese they serve at buffets. I love this chewy, cheesy deliciousness and it's SO much easier than when I used to make homemade cheese sauce starting with a roux.

And mine has never been quiiiiite the same because I always used a whole milk half and half combo thinking it was better. WRONG! I will be buying the canned Carnation evaporated milk that my Granny called canned cream. And it HAS to have the jumbo noodles because the cheesy goodness inside of the noodle. There was no exception to the jumbo noodles, canned milk, or shedding your own block of medium cheddar cheese. And she always peppered the top before putting it in the oven. I love this recipe and can now have it saved as I couldn't remember the ratio amounts.

None of the family had her recipe, and many have attempted to make it and have failed though definitely giving a good effort. I ran across this recipe, read the reviews and figured I would give it a whirl, first time I've ever tried my hand at making his macaroni and cheese dreams come true. I made it, called him in for dinner and he sat down, saw the dish, watched me put it on his plate (whole time he had a very serious look on his face) and tried a bite. Didn't crack a smile but I swear I saw a tear in his eye when he looked at me and said this WAS his grandma's mac and cheese!!!! ������ Thank you so much for making me look absolutely awesome!!!
