very easy to make, although i didn't follow the recipe exactly. I didn't use the tomatoes, nor did i have any celery seed. I added 1/4 cup more yogurt, and about 2-3 tbsp of dijon mustard for a little zip... still came out very well! with just enough sauce for the macaroni.

Great! I used this for a party and it still tasted great without the celery seed because I couldn't find it.

I was looking for a Mac and Cheese recipe without the use of cheese food (Velveeta) because no stores sell that here. This was really easy, not too salty (I like that) and quick. The only thing I didn't use was tomatoes out of personal preference. Saw absolutely no reason to make all the changes everyone suggests -- plenty of sauce, came together fine, plenty cheesy. Really good! :)

I took several suggestions from other reviewers and changed/added a few things. I cooked about 3/4 of the recommended macaroni amount. I added about 4 1/2 to 5 cups sharp cheddar, 3/4 cup yogurt, I added diced tomatoes with garlic & basil, I squeezed out most of the liquid as not to make the mac & cheese too runny. I added 4 sm. garlic cloves (If big, I would add 2) I increased the celery seed to a little under 1/4 tsp. I used 1 tsp. basil, and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning. Wow! This way of preparing packs a flavor punch, tasted way better than expected. I wrote down my changes and will make this alot. May have been a little much for my 2 & 4 yr. old though, they're not used to alot of seasonings.

Omit the tomatoes and be genorous with the cheese. I like to put it in a casserole, top with additional cheese and bake for a few minutes. A family and friend favorite!

I did not care for this recipe.

This recipe is good but may need more flavor/seasonings. Instead of canned tomatoes, I used 1.5c of peeled, seeded, and diced fresh tomatoes. Also, I didn't have any celery seed but I doubt 1/8t would have had a big impact on flavor. Maybe adding more than one kind of Cheddar or other cheese would have been better. At least it's easy to make!

the cheese never melted completely, and I've had better.

Very good. I loved the addition of the celery seed. It gives the mac n cheese a kick!

How do you spell comfort food? I really enjoyed this and will make it again - I loved the taste of the cheese and the tomatoes together. My mother used to make a mac and cheese with sharp cheddar, so I was trying to duplicate what she used to prepare... Like several of the reviewers, after mixing, I sprinkled cheese on the top and popped it in a casserole under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Most of the reviewers suggestions said to increase the cheese, but adding 3 cups of cheddar cheese between the sauce and topping was still not enough. I would suggest next time trying to decrease the macaroni by half which would make it saucier and bring out the taste of the cheese even more... Thanks for sharing!

This recipe is so easy and it's great except it's not cheesy enough for me. I LOVE my cheese so I would put more shredded Cheddar in and also an option would be to add some Cottage cheese. I added both to my leftovers and it was yummy.

DELICIOUS and EASY!! I love that this recipe doesn't use any canned soup--too much sodium! Changes I made: sour cream in place of the yogurt, canned diced tomatos in place of the stewed tomatoes, a little more cheese. This will be our mac and cheese recipe from now on.

It was good even with macaroni from the box a mixed it with ground turkey, layered it with cheese and put it in oven for about 15 minutes and it was delicious. Thanks for recipe.

I made this recipe twice becaue I was sure I did something wrong the first time,since it didn't come out that great. The second time, it wasn't good either. There is no way near enough sauce to cover the noodles...it was watery and not very good.

My family really liked this one. I added a lb of hot spicy pork sausage and it made a great dinner for during the week. I did add more cheese then the recipe called for and my son said it still could have used more. Another one where there were no left overs!

The taste of this dish was great. I had a problem with the consistency, it was a little lumpy, but there weren't any leftovers!

Delicious and so FAST and EASY! My kids loved it too. Like some others here, I too added more sharp cheddar. I also used diced canned tomatoes with onion, a tad more yogurt, (great secret ingredient by the way..tangy!) twice as much basil, and 2 minced garlic cloves. I also added some extra shredded cheese on top and put it under the broiler for 3 minutes to brown the top. YUMMY!!! I think next time I'll try it with some browned ground turkey.

This was excellent! A delicious and healthy alternative to the traditional mac anc cheese!
