Dear Paula, I was wondering if you had a good sage dressing recipe. I grew up on this, however, I was wondering if your recipe was close to my mother who got it from my father mother and now it has been past to her children. I grew up in the Northern part of Kentucky; so I'm excited to see what you have. Alison

Love your recipes, loved the visit to Savannah and The Paula Deen Tour, but your need some proofreaders real bad. Above recipe is an example.

Just made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I had a few green onions that I needed to use up so I added them and used half and half instead of milk. And because I'm from wisconsin I added just 'a little' extra cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

Hi Paula I have yet to try this recipe but I plan on trying this and using my family as ginny pigs. I will let you know how they like it and if possible I would like the Nutrition Facts for this recipe as I am diabetic and on carborhydrate counting diet.

Hi Paula, Love watching you cook and you are a great one. I am not a big cook anymore but had company coming over yesterday which included three young boys. I followed your recipe exactly and it was not good. I wish I knew what I possibley could have done wrong. The only thing I can think of is maybe my oven is a hot oven (about 3 years old) and that is why it was so dry. I want to fix it, so what should I do? I have a lot of it left over. I was thinking of adding more cheese and more milk or maybe cream (1/2 & 1/2?)and just reheat on top of stove. Any other suggestions? Of course I understand I might not get a reply right away so if not I will try something. Thanks, Joan

Good recipe- should try to use a mixture of different cheeses besides just grated cheddar cheese- it makes the mac-n-cheese even better!

This is my son's favorite meal & he is very picky! Can I freeze this?

By Connie on February 04, 2012

I make this recipe often and I love it. Today I decided to kick it up a notch and I used swiss and white cheddar for the cheese and I added peas and ham. Very good. By Sarah Foster on January 18,20012

Happy Thanksgiving all! To everyone asking about the 4cups cooked or citing a recipe that shows 2 cups.... 2 cups dry macaroni would be about 4 cups cooked. If you think you have too much, don't use it. The pasta will suck up the liquids and make it less creamy. 1st, I liked how this recipe turned out. I buttered my macaroni too though This was a first using eggs in Mac and cheese. It gave the liquid ingredients a roux feel without making a roux. For those that really were looking for a creamy texture (dare I say Stouffers style??? Gads!) This is a different type of mac and cheese than that, but here is what you'd do to get that texture with the same ingredients, sans the eggs. 1. Heat 2tbls butter and tbs flour in a pot. Cook the flour for about a minute to get the raw taste out. 2. Add 2 cups milk and heat to it begins to bubble. 3. Take off the heat and mix in the cheese till it melts and add a dash of salt and pepper. 4. Mix in sour cream and pour over the macaroni and then bake. I'd personally toss some butter with the noodles and some cheese before pouring cheese sause over top. LIke I said, this is a totally different style of Mac & Cheese, but it would address the texture issue people had. I personally like it both ways.... and I personally, if making mac and cheese, would go for broke and add LOTS of extra cheese and butter.

Hey Paula, I made this dish with great anticipation to take to a function we attended last night... I was very disappointed in the lack of consistency in this dish.. It was VERY DRY and not at all like I thought it would be.. Most folks think of mac and cheese being creamy and this was not at all that way. I would not make this dish again... My husband says that if you are coming off a three day combat patrol in the jungle and had not had anything to eat in three days this would have sufficed.. I do love your cooking and we loved eating at your restaraunt in Tunica, Miss. and actually went twice... I will try another one of your mac and cheese dishes and see if I can get the same results as your dish at your restauarant in Tunica...

This is the BEST mac and cheese recipe ever! I have tried making other recipes and nothing compares. I made this for my inlaws and they were begging me for the recipe! Love you Paula!
