  I added some minced onions to the cheese soup mixture for extra flavor, but this turned out great! It was very creamy and cheesy! The whole family enjoyed it! - 5/1/08

  We followed the suggestion to try it with bacon bits, and boy is it good! I use 16 TBSP of Hormel Premium Real Crumbled Bacon and use Barilla Plus Pasta. It bumps up the calories to 321 per serving, but a little decadence every once in a while is a good thing! I'm going to try the tuna next! - 2/4/09

  Used whole wheat pasta, and added some sliced mushrooms, spinach, chopped onion, garlic, basil, oregano, hot pepper flakes, and an ounce or two extra of milk for additional creaminess. Stirred the cheese in with the other ingredients. Amazing, especially due to the onions and herbs. Easy. - 2/11/08

  Based off of other comments, I made a few changes. I added a little bit of light butter, some garlic, salt and pepper, and about a teaspoon of minced onion. I also used Campbell's fiesta nacho cheese soup. We thought it tasted very good and the leftovers even reheated good in the microwave. - 2/1/09

  I loved this! I made it with half shredded cheddar and half shredded mozzarella cheese though. I thought it was really good as is, and it was good heated up the next day too. My boyfriend thought something was missing, and added salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chicken to it. - 1/15/09

  I wish that I had used wheat pasta when making this. The taste came out great - a little too great though! I ended up eating way more than just one serving. I think this is a very eacy, tasty meal - but I wouldn't make it too often in fear of over eating! - 12/11/08

  Hubby and I really enjoyed this although I did make some changes to it-wanting to make this more of a meal. I only used 4 oz of macaroni but added 12 oz package of broccoli/cauliflower and some chopped up chicken thighs-everything else the same. This was really good. Thanks for the recipe. - 10/28/08

  Enjoyed! Could not find 2% colby and jack. Settle for what I could find. Butter taste was the missing flavor for me. When I reheated left overs, I sprints the tops with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray 0 calories. Thanks for the cool recipe. - 10/17/08

  Almost perfect. Very good, but something was missing. The wife and I agreed the missing flavor was 'butter'. Though I haven't tried it yet, I'm going to try a little butter flavored extract next time. I did add some dry mustard and garlic salt and pre-heated/melted the milk, soup and cheese. - 10/17/08

  I'm not usually a fan of homemade mac & cheese (I love the high-cal boxed stuff!) but this one is great. I use Hood's Calorie Countdown milk and reduced fat cheese for even less calories. I've also used Campbell's fiesta nacho cheese for some added zip--I'm sure a jar of queso would do as well. - 6/30/08

  I messed up the recipe and it was still amazing! I only had 5oz of colby jack but I had gruyere, romano and parmesan in the fridge which I added for a total of 7oz. I also added a pinch of pepper and garlic powder but I accidentally forgot the milk. It was still amazingly rich and tasty! - 6/17/08

  I'm going to try this as soon as I find a low sodium soup. I'm used to using Velveta Light, so this will be interesting to try. - 2/1/08
