Introduction

I got the recipe for Baked Macaroni and Cheese from SparkRecipes (submitted by BSING46). I read a lot of the reviews and, while many did approve, some disapproved saying the recipe was too bland and dry (also that the nutrional calculations were all wrong). I have added frozen peas, hot sauce and onions to this recipe, many others added broccoli instead of peas. Other additions you may like to try: green, yellow and/or red peppers, chives, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, papriki and basil.

***After making this, I have decided to add grilled blacken chicken instead of peas on the next go around.***
