It took at least 10 minutes of stirring for the cheese to melt in, but it eventually worked and tasted pretty good.

This recipe is amazing! Best recipe of Mac and cheese I have tried. I never would have thought of using ground mustard. But it worked great!
I would lean closer 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 1/2 teaspoon tasted like a lot for me. Definitely using this recipe again! You are my go-to place for recipes!

This really was easy and good. I only had fine shredded sharp cheddar from Walmart (so I used it despite your warning about store shredded cheddar), cheap American cheese slices, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and day old chickpea pasta, and it still was very good. Thank you!

In reply to Evil. I'm so sorry to hear this! Did you use pre-shredded cheese? Was your heat too high?

Made this today and it was DELICIOUS! I love the flavour of box mac and cheese, but I’m trying to be more aware of what I’m eating, so this is perfect! I doubled the recipe and added 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar for a little acidity 🙂 also added in some seasoned ground beef and veggies, perfect for lunch!

Delicious! I may cut back a little on the salt but that’s a personal preference. Once again a well-tested, easy recipe!

This is my go-to mac and cheese! Really good Sam!
I’m surprised though, you have everything organic, and you’re using white table salt?! So bad for you!!! Try Redmond’s Real Salt that has good minerals in it. Tastes great!! And best part it’s from USA and mined in Utah.
By the way, I love your recipes!! I have a lot of your recipes written on my index cards. And love your cakes! I’m amazed, you are really talented and you look so young too!

In reply to Gina Dinan. I'm so sorry to hear this, Gina! Did you make any substitutions? It shouldn't turn out like that. :(

Currently making exactly as directed but I think I’ll melt the butter,add milk and simmer for a minute then add the cheese and make the sauce before adding the pasta next time. kinda tore up my noodles trying to mix the cheese in last.

Ended up with a gloppy mess. Would have been better off just melting cheese over cooked pasta.

In reply to Bella. Hi Bella! I haven't tried it that way, but I haven't run into issues before. Make sure to follow the steps closely and it should turn out perfectly. :)

In reply to Bella. Oh no! I hope it goes better next time. :(

So sad writing this. This was due to the cheese I used and not the recipe hence the 5 stars. The cheddar cheese (I shredded a block) melted beautifully but when I added the slices, it all went downhill. The cheese lumped up, then by the time I tried to get it to melt, the pasta started breaking up. It turned into a gritty soupy mess and we had to toss the whole thing. I think it is the cheese slices I used (upon looking at the ingredients I saw they contained milk solids and I think that is what caused it to not melt. I will make sure to double check the cheese next time and try again because this looks sooo good!

Would it work to add the cheeses to the milk mixture, stir until smooth and add in pasta as the last step. I am worried about the cheese mixture not getting completely smooth when adding the pasta first. If anyone tried it this way, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Made exactly as recipe states and it was delishes! Very creamy and easy to make. Kids loved it and I liked the flavor the smoked paprika added to the dish. Will definitely make again and again.

Thank you for your delicious recipe. I don’t like the sauce with the flour. Glad I found you! My family enjoyed your recipe at Thanksgiving supper.

I love that this mac and cheese can be made on the stovetop and without flour! The mix of spices is perfect. I realized that I didn’t have whole milk so instead I used half 1% milk and half sour cream. It was delicious!
