This was the worst I have ever had. It just tasted like the yogurt. My family hated it and I ended up throwing it away.

It was ok

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. Mac-n-cheese is one of my favorites, but this one turned out "grainy" tasting. Maybe I did something wrong. The actual flavor was good, but the consistancy wasn't.
