Not great
The top layer of cheese was creamy, however, the pasta below was crammed together and no cheese sauce penetrated it. I won't make again, there has got to be a better recipe out there.

I doubled this recipe and my entire family enjoyed it. They called it macaroni and cheese a la quiche! We'd like to try it with the addition of some steamed broccoli. My husband, who normally hates macaroni and cheese, liked this one quite a bit, so it is a keeper for our family.

I was surprised at how great this was!! I am always looking for a great mac and cheese recipe, usually do Martha Stewart's. This was so nice to throw together and forget about it, mine too was done in about 3 hours. Would definitely recommend, and the kids LOVE it!

Literally the best mac and cheese I've ever made. I've made it about 10 times and it's always a big hit, and it pretty easy to make too!

Loved it. Creamy and perfectly done. We have a 6 qt crockpot, so it was done after 3 hours. I also stirred twice during the cooking process to keep from getting crusty on the outside. Next time I'll add an onion and some garlic, I think it will be even better.

we love this recipe. It is so good with Turkey Polska Kielbasa. Make sure you are using the correct size crockpot. we had a 3 quart and it workd great - then tried it in a 6 quart and it was over done.

Very cheesy and creamy tasting!....I did have one child that said it was too cheesy!! I never thought I would hear that from a child of mine
I cooked it my middle size approx 3qt crock and it turned out good..the outside was a bit crunchy but, I think that maybe because my crock is old. We also used bowtie pasta which the kids love the look of it. Same taste, just looks different.....
The only thing I would do different is stir it halfway through besides, that it was a hit will all the kids except one. An extremely nice change from the box mac n cheese. We will make this again.
