it was amazing. i think people dont know how to cook very well, bc the instructions are dummy proof. i thought it was very tasty.

This recipe was excellent. It was exactly what I was looking for. The previous posters need to re-evaluate their cooking skills. lol

I usually have good luck trying new recipes but I will have to agree qith some of the other comments.... this recipe edible but not great. Way too much butter. Was very greasy and chunky but not from milk curdling, the egg I think and I left the eggs out to room temp like someone suggested. We all have different taste buds I guess.

That is entirely too much milk. I had to pour milk out of the macaroini twice while it was in the oven.

I think maybe there is a mistake in this recipe. The ratio of the milk and butter is way too high and cheese is too low. We ended up throwing it out. Wish I had read the reviews.

Sorry guys. This one was terrible. We (me and my 3 girls age 5 - 9) cook often, and this is the very first time I've ever thrown out a cooked dish directly from the oven. My oldest even tried to eat it with pasta sauce on top, after she decided it tasted too strange to eat plain. No flavor + eggs that scrambled kind-of + bland milk = non-kid pleaser. A couple of thoughts.... use whole milk or cream, add much more cheese, and add a spice or two -- cayenne (a pinch?), garlic powder, paprika and some pepper. As is, not yummy.

i just tried it.. but i barely read the comments that other people posted as i was making it.[if i had read them earlier i wouldnt of made it] well this dish was not the greatest for me . I didnt like it . maybe its just my tastebuds or something .. well this is just my own opinion.

The milk curdled for me as well, and it tasted nothing like macaroni and cheese. I'd reccommend going out to the store and buy a box of kraft instead of trying this recipe.

The milk curdled I guess. It did not work for me, and was not palatable.

Did not come out edible for me. I followed the directions and i don't know what happened. I would love for the person who posted this recipe to maybe give more details since i am not the only one who had problems.

My 2 year old loved it... The milk doesn't curdle, just let the eggs sit outside the fridge a few minutes and beat them well so they don't cook when you add them to the hot noodles. I added seasoned ground turkey!
