This was a waste of time. The macaroni and cheese was dry and flavorless.

I thought the recipe was too bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This is my new favorite macaroni and cheese recipe! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the corn and tomatoes add a nice touch of sweetness.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cheese sauce was too thick and the macaroni was overcooked.

I thought the flavor was a bit bland. I added some extra chili powder and cumin, and it was much better.

Really enjoyed this recipe. I used a medium cheddar and it was still plenty cheesy. The corn and tomatoes added a nice touch.

This Mexican macaroni and cheese was a hit with my family! It had just the right amount of spice and creaminess, and the corn and tomatoes added a nice pop of flavor. Will definitely be making this again.
