Kicked Up Mac and Cheese by Emeril Lagasse image

When I am in a hurry and need a potato dish this one has never failed me. It is quick and easy and very pleasy. hehe I have taken this to work parties, church gatherings, family functions and the list goes on... My husband is the one that makes the killer mashed potatoes and gravy but if I'm making potatoes and need to get it...

The most tasteless, boring mac and cheese I've ever eaten. Thumbs all the way down.

My grandmother used to make mac and cheese, so this doesn't stand a chance...and it really didn't.

This mac and cheese was a disaster! The cheese sauce curdled and the pasta was burnt.

I would not recommend this recipe. The cheese sauce was watery and the pasta was mushy.

This mac and cheese was okay. The cheese sauce was a little bland and the pasta was a bit overcooked.

I'm not a fan of mac and cheese, but this recipe was pretty good. The cheese sauce was creamy and the pasta was cooked well.

This mac and cheese was a hit with my family! It had just the right amount of kick from the cayenne pepper and the cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
