So good! I skipped the mustard and it came out great! I also used mozzarella cheese, almond milk, and almond flour for substitutes and it came out just as yummy as the original one!

This has got to be some of the best macoroni and cheese I have ever made.

Creamy and delicious

Rachel 4 years ago

Followed the recipe as it said, doesn’t have much flavor and has a gritty texture from the flour. Honestly wouldn’t recommend.

Gina R 4 years ago

SO YUM! Used a mix of sharp & medium cheddar instead of white cheddar. Will be our go-to mac-n-cheese recipe for sure, cuz we all loved it.

Shannon Sullivan 4 years ago

This was literally so good!!! Definitely making it again.

Johnson 4 years ago

Tasted great! Much better hot. I would suggest microwaving it once it cools even a little bit.
