“I am so amazed at how easy this recipe was, and how little butter and cheese it calls for unlike other recipes. It was deliciously creamy, even my 11 month old baby loved it! My only advise is to add a little more macaroni than the recipe calls for or else the” — a cook, 5.0★
“Made this ultimate comfort food while home sick, I was confused by the eggs—but thought they would offer some good protein and probably help with thickening. It was delicious, I topped it with some sauteed mushrooms and mixed in some spinach at the end. Yum!” — a cook, 5.0★
