I seldom make Mac & Cheese anymore without adding a whole brick of cream cheese torn into bits, and a tablespoon or 2 of basic, cheap yellow hot-dog mustard! try it- I promise- you'll follow suit!

I can see mustard adding a little zing, Gonna try it. CF:)

I already used the mustard and last time I made mac and cheese I used the cream cheese like you suggested. It was yummy. I made it for Easter dinner. Of course Jon's brother and his two oldest kids picked at it asking what was in it but everyone else ate it. They seem to all think I use more butter than Paula Deen for some reason which is not the case.

Janie, sorry about the BNL and kids. Why can't people just say thanks so much for fixing us dinner. I have some folks like that, mother in law. People say ah, shes just old (93). I say no, she is just a real ass.
Butter, makes things taste good. I would not cook without it. CF:)
