This casserole was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese and more macaroni.

I'm not a big fan of hot dogs, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The macaroni and cheese was delicious and the hot dogs were actually pretty good. I would definitely make this again.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The macaroni and cheese was also a bit dry.
