This is my go to recipe. I love it.
This is the recipe my mother used to make mac n cheese. She would add a can of flaked tuna for a Friday night dinner when Catholics were not allowed to eat meat on fridays. It is delicious.
It’s the most requested dish for my pot luck dinner . I add bread crumbs and cheese on top.

This is my go-to recipe for Mac & cheese. Everyone loves it. This is my idea of comfort food.
Muellers pasta isn’t available where we live now but I remember what a good recipe this was so I searched for it and I quadrupled the recipe for a large family gathering. I’ll be surprised if there is any left.
This was also my mothers recipe, only we did not bake it we cooked the ingredients over medium heat on the stove to bring to a rolling boil. We also added onion for more flavor and texture. We then would put under the broiler until browned. Leftovers are the best!!!!!
This has been our leftover ham from New Year’s day dinner for the past 25 years!! My husband always request we make it together.. After 51 years of marriage I finally have him helping in the kitchen.
Thank you Muellers!

I remember my mother making this. She taught me how to make it. I’m making it RIGHT NOW!!! Too bad I can’t find Muellers elbows. They were the best!
I Love this recipe! My husband and I will just have it for dinner! Yummy!
Been making this for years, I always double the recipe because all my children and grandchildren love it. I use 2 cans of evaporated milk with equal amount of water and of course double the rest of the ingredients. It is always a hit at any gathering we go to. This recipe used to be on the back of the Mueller macaroni box but they changed to another one with croutons several years ago. I am a 77 year old male who loves to cook.

Been making this for years from the old recipe on the box using cornstarch. I. I think I gave my son my recipe card so had to look it up. My husband was the one who grated all the cheese. My 4 grandchildren aged 8-15, love it and my son makes it for them as a meal with a side of veggies. Now that I am a widow I will divide it in several smaller dishes and freeze the extras and of course, I’ll be the one grating the cheese .
I am not a cook but this baked Mac and cheese is a hit every time. I get asked by family and friends to make it – preferably weekly (although I limit it to 1 month) and especially with smoked Gouda, Just finished making a double batch which will be gone in no time.

I cut this off the box & saved a picture of it to my phone, thank goodness! It’s been replaced by a different recipe now. However, my copy is the same as the old EXCEPT it calls for 2 1/2 cups of milk not 3.
This Thanksgiving though I wanted to try something different even though my family LOVES this and it’s always a hit. The new recipe called for 6 different cheeses, Kerigold butter and other very expensive things. I spent more on the dish than the entire dinner! My family hated it! That night I made Mueller’s and we heated it up tonight and as usual, a huge hit!! Never will I try another!!! This is the best!
I ? love this recipe it is the best ever. I always make it on Holidays.
This is the best macaroni and cheese recipe. So easy, great for a beginner cook!
I’ve been making this for the past 20+ years and it was always a hit! I still make mine with cornstarch and I always double the recipe for the holidays.
Both my mother and grandmother used this recipe. Through the depression while there were food shortages and couldn’t always have full ingredients, my grandmother used American cheese, and passed it down to my mom then me. I can only eat this recipe. You can keep your boxed Mac & Cheese, no thanks.
In my humble opinion, this is the best recipe for Mac & Cheese. The only thing I do differently is use extra sharp cheddar and mix it all into the sauce rather than saving some of it for the topping! It’s truly a great recipe handed down to each generation. My husband had never had homemade Mac & cheese prior (they ate Kraft, yuck) there is no comparison to homemade. He requests this often.
