Oooops! YES, it is supposed to be EVAPORATED milk, not CONDENSED. :S I once made that mistake while making fudge (used condensed instead of evaporated) and ended up with sludge that quickly turned to chocolate concrete. Sorry!

[...] 1) The mac-n-cheese debate rages on. Many of you love Alton Brown’s recipe, but when it comes to this dish, you’re not shy to voice your favorites. Shoppingsmycardio says, “ooh, yummy, gooey, carb-y goodness! this recipe is delish (i’ve made it), but i’ll see your alton brown, and raise you the single best mac i’ve ever tasted: Martha Stewart’s”. Commenter Ellobie reps P. Diddy’s Mack’n Cheez, which Laura has reproduced in comments in this post. [...]

[...] I’m afraid I haven’t had much time for cooking the past few weeks… well, not for me anyway. Isadora has started eating food, and so my Sunday culinary adventure consisted of steaming and pureeing fruits and veggies for her virgin palette. I’m using a great book, Cooking for Baby from williams-sonoma.com. It is so inspiring! I’ve started with sure-fire hits: sweet potatoes, apple sauce, and peas (which get a mixed review). Cooking our own baby food sounds a little high-maintenance, but it’s not really. And I never eat canned or jarred veggies, so why would my baby? The cookbook makes it easy, breaking it down month-by-month on what flavors and food can be introduced when. I’m personally looking forward to “amarath and plum swirl” (month eight) and “minced pork and pear” (nine to 11 months). Before long, we’ll be moving onto the joys of homemade macaroni and cheese.

I made the P Diddy Mac n Cheese and it turned out awful. For some reason, my cheese got real weird after baking it. Please help!!!

Yes, the P Diddy Mac n Cheese should have evaporated milk in it, not condensed. My son is coming home from college this weekend and has requested this recipe! LOL!

I've made this one from the New York Times several times. I love that it uses uncooked pasta, thus cutting out a step, and that the cheese to pasta ratio is 2 to 1. It ain't lowfat, but it's delicious.

Hi Laura- Sept. 14th, 2006.

I love the recipe that you have posted- but I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk. It tastes perfect. I didn’t want to try condensed milk because it seemed strange. I wonder if it’s a typo on your part?

Just wondering… thanks-

Dana :)
