I made this last night, and I thought it was really good. I had never made homemade baked mac & cheese before, and this was so simple, it had just enough cheese and just enough crusty top.. I added some light lean turkey sausage for just a little kick, and I turned out really good. Impressed! :) - 5/8/12
