No-Bake Macaroni & Cheese

Easy to make and very delicious. I like to use whole wheat shells and fresh broccoli.

Quick and healthy This is a good-tasting, quick and healthy recipe for macaroni and cheese that actually has that cheesy taste we crave in mac & cheese. It's incredibly simple to prepare and is just down-good comfort food. I did modify it somewhat, using fresh broccoli that I blanched and fresh garlic that I added to the sauce. I would not serve my version to company because of the lack of fat: I used nonfat milk and lowfat cheddar. Pros: Have most ingredients on hand, great for last minute meal Cons: Not for company

great flavorI thought this recipe was really great. It was really filling and the cheese sauce was the perfect consistency and just had this amazing flavor I didn't expect. I used a broccoli and cauliflower mix that I had in the freezer and it turned out great.Pros: filling, tasty

Quick Weeknight MealOverall, I'd describe this recipe as "good." It was easy to make and most kitchens have the ingredients on hand at any time. I agree with some other comments that it's a tad bland, so I'd suggest using garlic salt instead of garlic powder, or if you're looking to keep the salt content low, use a stronger cheese. I wouldn't rave about this recipe, but it was satisfactory to my taste buds and easy to make, so I'm likely to make it again.Pros: Easy, most ingredients are in every kitchenCons: a little bland

Never buying boxed stuff again This the fast, simplest, most delicious mac n' cheese I have ever made that the whole family agrees on. It is much more filling than the boxed stuff and can be made in the same time as the boxed stuff. Pros: Fast, simple, delicious

Dutch husband loved thisMy husband thought it was fabulous and though he's a cheese lover, he likes it mild. I would add some other cheese, perhaps a blue type and a little nutmeg like someone else suggested. It's a good way to get someone to eat broccoli.Pros: Healthy version of mac and cheeseCons: A bit bland

Delicious and Easy to MakeI can understand how some people found this to be a little plain, but I thought it was delicious! I omitted the dijion mustard and used black pepper instead of white. I ate it for dinner/lunch all week. Some friends also tried it and enjoyed it as well. Only takes a few minutes to make - a nice alteration if you're really in the mood for comfort food!Pros: easy to makeCons: a bit plain

This was a really easy, really fast recipe to follow and the result was surprisingly delicious! The only downside I can find is that if someone is anticipating a very cheesy, salt-laden dish, this will seem a bit bland. I, however, love that it isn't incredibly salty. I'm a single person and this amount serves as a great lunch to make ahead of time to bring to work for a couple of days. I'm interested in trying it with different vegetables. :)

This is by far our favorite mac&cheese recipe - although we eat the broccoli on the side. The way to get a lump-free non-floury sauce is to shake the milk and flour together vigorously in a jar or tightly covered container before adding, and to cook the sauce for a full 3 mimutes with constant stirring. I also use only 2 Tbs of flour for a less stiff sauce. Try bow tie pasta, it holds the sauce beautifully!

I think the ingredients are perfect! I make this every week. The key to avoiding a flour-y taste is to whisk the sauce vigorously and constantly. I use Lifetime fat-free cheddar cheese for lower fat, and fresh chopped broccoli (microwaved and mixed in at the last minute, rather than boiling it, since I dislike boiled vegetables). I like this better than my full fat baked mac and cheese recipe, especially since it is on the table after just 30 min of effort.

It was quick and easy- a new favorite! Grilled chicken was a nice addition.
