Mom's Favorite Baked Mac and Cheese image

This is a macaroni and cheese I first made 3 years ago when I was in California. When I got back to Texas I made it for my mom. This is now her favorite baked macaroni and cheese. She begs me to make it when I come to visit.

This mac and cheese is the best I've ever had! The cheese sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. I also love the addition of the breadcrumb topping, which adds a nice crunch.

This mac and cheese was a disappointment. The cheese sauce was bland and the pasta was mushy. I also didn't like the breadcrumb topping. It was too greasy and didn't add anything to the dish.

I thought this mac and cheese was just okay. The cheese sauce was a bit too thick and the pasta was a little overcooked. I also didn't like the breadcrumb topping. It was too crunchy and didn't add anything to the dish.
