    If I'm going to have mac and cheese, it will be real cheese, cream, and butter. Velveeta isn't even a good substitute for cheese.

    I can't believe that a recipe with this much sodium per serving would be listed on Spark People. - 2/23/11

    I have made this many times and the whole family enjoys it. I make it into a one pot meal - I add a vegie mix like carrots, broccoli, etc. - whatever frozen I have on hand and also add some diced ham if I have it. We always use whole wheat pasta and the kids do not seem to notice a difference. - 2/15/09
