Western Macaroni and Cheese Dinner image

Can't remember if I got this off the Mac 'N Cheese box or where. It's a great way to change up plain old mac 'N cheese. Comfort food! If you have leftover fresh broccoli stems, chop them up and drop them in the boiling water with the noodles. I adjusted the recipe a bit.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the macaroni and cheese turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour to the sauce. I'm going to try making it again, but I'll be more careful with the flour this time.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The macaroni and cheese was good, but it wasn't anything special. I would probably make it again, but I would add some more cheese or spices to the sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The macaroni and cheese was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The macaroni and cheese was not what I expected. The sauce was too thin and the macaroni was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

The macaroni and cheese was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good meal. I would recommend adding some more cheese or spices to the sauce.

I've tried many macaroni and cheese recipes, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is so smooth and creamy, and the macaroni is cooked just right. I also love the addition of the bell pepper and onion. It gives the dish a nice flavor boost.
