  • My recipe is the same except it only calls for 1/2 C milk and one egg. I bet this one is much creamier! A must try for me.

  • I have a very similiar recipe that my family just loves. I try and use a little "white" cheese, such as swiss, as well. It is fool proof!

  • This was easy to prepare and had a nice texture to it. The only change I made is to use whole wheat macarone for more fiber and nutrition.

  • This sounds like a great dish. I like the fact that it is baked and not runny like so many are

  • I agree with Shirley sounds great. This recipe is easier than mine and I intend to try it. The only thing I'll do different is the cheese because I like 2 or 3 different kinds in mine. Thank you!!!

  • This recipe sounds great!! The only change I may make is extra sharp cheddar cheese. I can't wait to try this one.
