Woolworth’s Mac and Cheese

Tonight I made the Woolworth's Mac and Cheese recipe from this post. The only changes I made were to use 8 oz of Kraft Deli Deluxe American cheese in place of the Velveeta, and I used 8 oz of macaroni instead of 7 oz.

I put it in an 8" square Pyrex dish, and it filled it nearly to the top, so it could easily be put in a 9" square or 11×7 dish.

Verdict? Overall, quite good. Very rich and creamy. The husband liked it.

I did find it too salty, so I would cut the salt by half, or maybe leave it out until the sauce was done and then salt to taste if needed. I don't know if my cheese substitution had anything to do with that.

If I made it again, I would probably increase the macaroni a bit more, maybe to 12 oz. Someone on the original post suggested that the 7 oz listed in the recipe may have been a mistake and should have been 16 oz, but I am not sure there would be enough sauce for that much pasta, but maybe. It would definitely need a larger dish if using more than 8 oz pasta.

I'd probably also cut back on the butter, just because I'm not sure it's necessary.
