Best Mac n Cheese recipe!
November 29, 2011
I've been searching for a great Mac N Cheese recipe for a while. I did this version for Thanksgiving dinner and it was one of several side dishes. This is the dish I got the most compliments and recipe requests for. I used Crema Mexicana instead of creme fraiche and I did not use the brioche breadcrumbs. Instead, I mixed some panko breadcrumbs with some melted butter and a little parmesan cheese and sprinkled it on top. There were only 2 spoonfuls left of the whole casserole dish. My husband requested it again the next day! This is going to be my new mac n cheese recipe!
Pros: Yield, Easy, Appearance, Will Make Again
Cons: Cost, Unhealthy

This is, hands down, the best mac 'n' cheese recipe I've come across so far. It makes a ton, but it is DELICIOUS. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it...
Pros: Yield, Easy, Kid-Friendly, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again
Cons: Unhealthy

Phenomenal
April 25, 2011
Made this as a side dish for Easter yesterday and it was delicious. Saw the comment about the 7 year cheddar and was able to actually find 10 year aged cheddar at the local Bristol Farms which adds a lot of rich cheddar flavor. I would HIGHLY recommend this dish.
Pros: Yield, Appearance, Impressive, Will Make Again

Best Mac 'n' Cheese Ever
April 6, 2011
I had the Mac 'n' Cheese at Cut last year, and it was without a doubt, the best I had ever eaten, so I was very excited to see this recipe. While it is a great recipe (and better than any other I have tried), it didn't completely replicate the flavor from the restaurant. The chef (Lee from the video) said they use 7-year aged cheddar, and I was only able to find 2-year. I also don't put in as much salt, so maybe those two things made the difference. Can't imagine how anyone didn't think it was creamy--it was very creamy and rich. I halved the recipe, and it still made a lot. This is definitely the recipe I will use in the future.
Pros: Easy, Kid-Friendly, Will Make Again, comfort food

Amazing flavor, Quick and Easy to make
March 23, 2011
One of the best mac and chesse recipes I have made. Added 1 cup of smoked mozzarella for a little smoked flavor. Also, used Italian Panko bread crumbs instead of brioche.

Delicious and Easy
March 13, 2011
Once the cheeses are grated, this is a snap to put together. It was smooth, rich and had a wonderful flavor. I was surprised because mozzerella is such a mild cheese. One of the best mac n cheese recipes I've ever used.

Worth trying, but I'll be trying something else
February 23, 2011
It just didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. All that cheese, the milk and creme fraiche and it seemed a little grainy and stiff. Not to mention there wasn't much flavor either! What a bummer...I'll be trying a different recipe next time, but you may still want to give it a try.

DO NOT OVERCOOK
Grainy cheese means you had the heat too high. This is a very creamy, tasty mac and cheese as long as you watch your temp.

Very rich, creamy and good!
February 21, 2011
This is a great recipe! It makes A LOT for a side dish for a family of four! Its a very rich, creamy and decadent dish that makes it hard to eat too much! (I guess that's a good thing!) I served it with the bone in rib eye and a salad and we had a very good bottle of red wine too! It was very good!
Some quick notes...I made the recipe exactly as written except I used sour cream instead (could not find creme fraiche in my store) and I added some gruyere cheese (because when I watched the video on the Williams Sonoma site, the chef used gruyere too). And my topping was 3/4 cups of panko breadcrumbs!
