Your family will be none the wiser when you offer up this vegetarian creamy “mac and cheese”.
Definitely a quick and easy dish. A very clean taste, cooked bacon bits added some nice smokiness and broccoli lightened up the whole dish with lots of goodness. We used whole grain macaroni that added extra fibre to the dish. This is the kind of dish that kids and grown-ups all enjoy.
Thank you Martha Stewart! She says it's important to use pungent cheeses. Sharp white cheddar produces the smoothest result; yellow and extra sharp cheddars can become grainy. MAKE SURE to pay attention to the steps so your cheese doesn't curdle.

Three words for this recipe ... yum, yum and YUM! Very easy to make and great flavor.
This stove top mac and cheese is easy to put together. Broccoli provides lots of essential nutrients, and it's a cheesy and delicious way to combine some veggies into your kid's dish as well.
Definitely give this recipe 5 stars. We really had no idea how it would come out before we made it, and the result was outstanding...
An easy way to add some veggies to your kids meal. Add some fresh broccoli and mushrooms to your macaroni and cheese, still cheesy and delicious, giving you extra vitamins, flavor and fiber.

Really enjoyed this dish. Quite easy to make, and it was cheesy and delicious. A hearty and tasty meal. Will be making this recipe again.
Classic and easy to prepare old fashioned baked macaroni and cheese baked until bubbly with a crispy top.
Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.
I used my left over smoked ham for this recipe and it came out awesome. I made it exactly has the recipe described and my family actually loved it. I will make it again!
