    This is the only way I’ll eat Mac n Cheese … from scratch. None of that nasty boxed stuff from the supermarket ! The children, big and small, love it when I make it. So easy and tasty.

    Very nice on a cold winters night. Will be making again ?. I halved all the ingredients as well as cooking time. Was ready to go in an hour

  3. Yum!
    I used the small macaroni pasta and all quantities as per recipe. My cooker (sunbeam secret chef) cooks hot so it was ready within an hour.
    Easy to cook.

    This was a great side dish to steak and it made HEAPS!! I only used one packet of pasta and 8 cups liquid all up. I had about 750ml of cooking cream that needed to be used and made up the extra with hot water.

    Absolutely yum 😋. So easy to make and no extra dishes and pots to wash which is even better. I will certainly be adding this to my list. I made 1/2 the portion, plenty left over for lunches tomorrow. Thank you Alicia for sharing your recipe.🙂

      That’s great to know the half mix went well too! Did you alter the cooking time for that Marilyn?

    No I accidently read the recipe wrong and wondered why it wasn’t thicken up 🤔, so cooked a bit more pasta on the stove top and added it in. will try better next time.
