Being an onion freak, I'm going to add 1/2 of a med. onion (chopped) to the mixture, which I add to my Mac & Cheese recipe, then I'll bake the mixture in the oven for the recommended time less five min. With five min left to bake, I'll carefully remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle French Fried Onion Rings (canned) over the top of the surface and put back into the oven for the last five min. Or until the onion rings brown slightly. OMG , friends and family that are not wild about onions love my Mac & Cheese! dropdadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-50934625803856925922014-04-30T15:48:50.760-05:002014-04-30T15:48:50.760-05:00Tina!

Then I cooked it al Dente and followed the rest of the recipe. I feel that it was the perfect measure of macaroni - it wasn't dry OR soupy, but I really wish the cheese hadn't been so clumpy - which, unfortunately is the typically result of using cheddar. Would love a super smooth and cheesy version like Stouffer's mac and cheese. Has anyone tried Velveeta or American with this recipe? I just wonder if that would eliminate the clumpy cheese curds from the finished product.

I made a few changes to the recipe: I forgot the eggs (unintentionally), I used 14 ounces of penne pasta, and I used a combo of sharp cheddar and Colby jack cheese for a total of 24 ounces. My crock pot is 6 quarts and it was ready in 3 hours. This is not a low cal dish by any means. I did use whole wheat penne, but everything else was the real deal. It is really yummy and so easy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-75112193654333511532013-07-05T14:37:20.263-05:002013-07-05T14:37:20.263-05:00Update to yesterday's comment:

Here's what I changed as well as some helpful hints:<br /><br />*8 oz. dry macaroni<br />*3 eggs <br />*1 c. fat-free milk (that's all we had)<br />*1/2 c. fat-free half and half<br />*no butter<br />*1 pound shredded cheese<br /><br />I didn't put the last portion of cheese on top until it was done.<br /><br />I noticed the pasta wanted to clump together. I ended up stirring the ingredients several times during the cooking process.<br /><br />When it's done, IT'S DONE! The macaroni will continue to expand, turning the dish into a solid mass of cheese flavored goo (as discovered after letting it sit).<br /><br />I tasted the true finished product and it was wonderful. Not grainy or overly greasy. Too bad no one else did...lol.<br /><br />In closing, I plan on making this recipe again.

My f...I've read the reviews and giving it a go. My family loves mac & cheese. I don't do boxed and the real deal takes time. A crock-pot version is too good to be true.<br /><br />I noticed some confusion among readers regarding the amount of macaroni. Ounces are weight and cups, teaspoons, etc. are volume. I looked up the ratio of uncooked to cooked and it's 1:2.1...so basically the cooked macaroni doubles its weight.<br /><br />I'm going with 8 ounces of uncooked and praying it'll turn out. I also cut back on the cheese after reading Sheri Bowman's experience with the oil.<br /><br />Crossing my fingers!Mrs. Wonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17563099085771998258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-24798660387634816932013-07-01T10:41:57.632-05:002013-07-01T10:41:57.632-05:00I have tried probably a dozen recipies for mac and...I have tried probably a dozen recipies for mac and cheese and they all turn out clumpy and greasy when cooked due to the cheddar cheese.

I have always cooked the macaroni first according to the directions. It has never been mushy, I cook it Al dente. Always so good and I now have to double everything and make it it my big crock pot. I don't even put any butter in mine at all and it is just as good. Mine does look a little creamier than your picture, and that is probably the difference between cooking the pasta and not cooking it, but the taste is what matters. I may have to try it your way by not cooking the macaroni. We actually had a family gathering today and it was Italian fare. One of my great-nephews came up to me and said "did you bring your mac & cheese"? I told him I thought it would be a little pasta overload with all that we had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390396285139687239.post-8407883141680004322012-04-21T19:18:29.595-05:002012-04-21T19:18:29.595-05:00I just made this delicious dinner and we love it :...I just made this delicious dinner and we love it :) I agree that there was not enough macaroni, so i added macaroni and decreased the cheese because I used pre shredded.

Next time I am going to undercook them.
