This recipe is way too cheesy. It was like eating a block of cheddar.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese turned out dry. I think I needed to add more milk.

This recipe is a little too bland for my taste. I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a fan of milk in my macaroni and cheese, so I substituted it with chicken broth. It turned out great!

I love that this recipe uses sharp cheddar cheese. It gives the macaroni and cheese a really nice flavor.
