Truly Amazing Mac and Cheese

If your kids prefer mac and cheese from a box, with its powdered "cheese" product, ban the boxed stuff for a few months and it will fade from memory. Then introduce this recipe, with its aged Gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Almost every kid will love it at once.

The whole family loves it!
April 6, 2012
I was skeptical that the kids would like this recipe. They REALLY love it. They won't even eat the boxed stuff any more. I would highly recommend this recipe to any family. It takes a little planning to time the cheese sauce and everything else. We add a chicken breast (cubed) and sometimes chopped up bacon. We also put a bit more of the cheeses. For the first time out, I would follow the recipe as written. It's still very delicious. We also sprinkly bread crumbs on the top before putting in the oven.
Pros: Kid-Friendly, Impressive, Will Make Again

so full-but happy!
May 23, 2011
This recipe was extremely easy to make, especially for a beginner chef like myself. (well, I am not a chef more like an intern) BUT be prepared to feel so unbelievably full after eating this dish. So much cream and cheese makes it a classic “comfort food”. None the less, it tastes great! I think best severed as a side dish not a main dish.
Pros: Easy
Cons: Unhealthy

Perfect Mac and Cheese!
March 26, 2011
I followed the recipe exactly, minus the bay leaf and it was truly amazing! This beats any Mac and Cheese from the box and works perfectly as a main dish or an appetizer.
The only suggestion I would make is to cook the noodles while you are preparing the sauce. This will save a lot of time!
