I like thicker mac and cheese and this wasn't (at least mine wasn't but yours look like it was) - what could I have done wrong?Disneypalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564104426996634705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22788202.post-49372081381105042232012-04-13T14:49:26.675-05:002012-04-13T14:49:26.675-05:00Erin the 2% cheese was your problem.

And Vito Y this is not a dish that you would serve to your family on a regular basis but on holidays or special occasions when we all blow the healthy eating.REChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370055732417689092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22788202.post-2367284055610032862012-04-12T15:40:17.944-05:002012-04-12T15:40:17.944-05:00I'm sorry to put a damper on but the nutrition...I'm sorry to put a damper on but the nutritional value of this meal is so wrong. It is full of dairy fat and simple carbohydrates. <b>And low fat substitutions only make matters worse by injecting highly processed food into it.</b> <br /><br />With the food knowledge we have today, why would a mom feed this to her children if not to make them fat?Vito Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843277534520947859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22788202.post-20759892205206382642010-07-20T21:18:04.329-05:002010-07-20T21:18:04.329-05:00Mine sucked.

I used Kraft 2% mild cheddar because my family prefers mild rather than sharp cheddar. I also used the baking method Trisha says you can use instead of a crock-pot. I followed the recipe to the letter. Mine was brown and burning around the edges but the cheese was in curdled lumps throughout. It tasted fine I guess, but it's not a pleasant texture. Did this happen to anyone else?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411114870790344193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22788202.post-88570862494302802832010-05-04T06:24:19.768-05:002010-05-04T06:24:19.768-05:00I've never thought of cooking mac and cheese i...I've never thought of cooking mac and cheese in a crockpot!

My local library has 15 new Trisha Yearwood cookbooks and all 15 are checked-out. In addition, there are currently 75 people on the wait list.<br /><br />Like you, I cannot abide stovetop mac -n-cheese. I LOVE the baked version but our house gets way too hot to do anything in the oven all summer long so I'm really happy to find this crockpot version!<br />Thanks for sharing.Lady Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878452243971917072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22788202.post-87494759315643440102010-04-21T18:43:13.542-05:002010-04-21T18:43:13.542-05:00You really didn't cook your noodles first and ...You really didn't cook your noodles first and it all came out well?!
