I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out a complete disaster. The cheese sauce was curdled and the macaroni was mushy.

This dish was a waste of time and ingredients. The flavors didn't blend well together and the macaroni was overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I'll stick to my old macaroni and cheese recipe.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this dish was not it. The flavors were just okay and the cheese sauce was a bit too thick.

I've tried many Mexican macaroni and cheese recipes, but this one is by far the best. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the cheese sauce is incredibly creamy.
