This recipe was very easy to prepare but tasted very bland. I even added basil and savory but it didn't work. It needs "something" to give it zing.
I made this adding 1 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 tsp. onion powder and a scoop of fresh garlic per one of the reviews. It would have been so bland without it. I also only cooked it 30 mins. it was okay. I'll keep looking for that one great comfort food type recipe I hope is out there. Until then I guess I'll stick with mine.
my grandma made this for me growing up...we use velvetta (big square loaf). i cut off from the loaf and microwave just to soften it. one of my fav recipes ever
Great base recipe idea. Being too lazy to bike to the store I used what I had to build on this: fire roasted diced tomatoes remainder of my cream cheese bite sized onion and green pepper canned mushrooms minced garlic italian seasoning flaked red pepper Panko bread crumbs and the kicker--zitti rather than mac. It was simple and absolutely delicious. Will be making again.
I needed a win and this recipe was it last night. Great mild comfort food. Fine recipe as-is strong platform for more adventurous tastes. I left out the butter in the mixture and added a 14oz. can of diced tomatoes. Next time I will try with Brie or Gruyere. The time after that I will use onions and garlic.
There is really nothing to this recipe except cheese no sauce of any kid and kind of boring. Wouldn't make it again
Whole family loved it! I also added some more seasoning & a few extras like other people... italian seasoning garlic powder about 1/2-1 clove of minced garlic about half of a block of cream cheese (leftover!) and believe it or not - 1 small jar of pureed carrot baby food! No one even noticed.. seriously! And it was still very good. I have made this several times and this was the first time adding the small jar of carrots and it was barely-if at all-noticeable! (makes me think of those cookbooks where the chefs are hiding healthy things in their kid's food!) Also I have played around with different cheeses but my favorite so far has been with extra-sharp white cheddar & Cabot Seriously Sharp cheddar... we are a family of sharp cheddar lovers! Good luck with your own version of this:)
Very good and easy recipe. I added some thinly sliced tomatoes on the top at the end of baking time and broiled a little bit to finish it off. Very pretty and very good! Try it you won't be disappointed.
