I don't think I"ll ever eat macaroni and cheese any other way! I am hooked on this recipe. I've made it three times now - in the past few weeks!

I love this recipe! It satisfies my weekly craving for blue cheese... I have made this dish four times now and it's great every time. It is easy to prepare and my frinds love it too.

Lovely recipe thank you! Very tasty - of course you have to LIKE blue cheese to enjoy a 'Blue Cheese' sauce, the hints in the name!!

I have made this recipe 3 times now and each time it turns out better than the last! You definitely need to like bleu cheese and I omit the chives because I never seem to have them at home. It doesn't seem to make a difference though because I've made it for partys and it's always a crowd pleaser. I should also add that I am not a great cook and I don't cook more than a few times a week and this recipe was really easy.

Terible it was one of the worst things I have ever tried! My kids hated it just as much as I did!
Can you be more specific? WHY didn't you like it? Your review doesn't help anyone unless you can give more information than this
