Sounds good Eileen, I love mac & cheese

I love macaroni and cheese! I'm definately going to make the pie.

That sounds yummy Eileen Thanks for the reciepe

Never thought of putting Mac & Cheese in a pie, either...

The M&C is pretty much exactly my recipe, so I know it will be wonderful -- the older the better on the cheese, and if you want to boost the cheese flavour, sprinkle it with 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard and a dash of cayenne, and shake it to distribute reasonably evenly.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE mac and cheese..... it's my favorite thing ever to eat!!! Now I want some!!

Oooo, sounds good! I saved it for later, thanks for posting!

Want to make it have even more calories?

My mom always topped mac & cheese with the layer of extra cheese, then bread crumbs with melted butter sprinkled on them. Makes a really crunchy topping.

You can use a mix of different cheeses too!!
This sounds like a good recipe and I'm the only one who eats it and its a makes a smaller amount so less leftovers!!

Also to make it healthy use whole wheat macaroni-you won't notice a difference!!
