My husband and I loved this dish. I would make it even without the bacon because the gruyere gave it so much flavor. To those of you who feel it's necessary to not only criticize the food, but also Rachael Ray herself, GROW UP. I'm sure that you've made some losing meals in the past and I'm positive that you don't see that as a reflection of your character.
Sooo good...

This is quite possibly the best mac and cheese recipe that I've ever tried.
Very good

We enjoyed this dish although I did forget to add in the Dijon mustard and the nutmeg. I think I would like it next time with some bread crumbs and extra cheese on top and baked in the oven. But this was excellent.

Sorry...but this is just not even close to good. I think I'll stick with my classic mac and cheese and while I'm at it I'll stick with the classic "real" chefs to do the cooking.
Very tasty, nice for a change

This was a very nice macaroni and cheese recipe, popular with my husband and kids who love bacon. To Carol from Austin TX, try using the center-cut bacon that Rachael used on the show. That should reduce the amound of bacon grease you find in the pan after rendering the meat. And a note to 'Anonymous' of 9/15/07, Quiche Lorraine does not have spinach in it, it has cheddar cheese and bacon. Quiche Florentine is made with spinach and Swiss cheese. Spinach is always a wonderful addition to macaroni and cheese (and so many other dishes) but you won't find it in a standard "Lorraine" dish.
Cheesy-licous

I made this recipe tonight for my family, and loved the ending taste, but the thought of all that bacon grease soaked up in the onions, turned my stomach. I wonder what this will look like after a night in the fridge, will it harden? Who cares, it is a great family pleaser. Next time, may just keep a little bacon grease in the pan to fry the onions. 1/2 lb turned out close to 1/2 cup grease.
Just 2 stars

I thought this was very dry and who hasn't seen this recipe 26 times already on the food network?? I realize that people have experienced different recipes but the thing about the mustard and nutmeg that makes them go "hummm"? I grew up with this and it isn't original. I wish food network hadn't dumped Sara and I also wish they would put Ina on more, simply because she doesn't wave her arms around all over the place. Ina has class.
Family loved it!

First I must share that we did not add the wine to the pasta simply because we didn't have it on hand. My husband, who doesn't like anything fancy, and my 8 year old son loved this pasta. My son said he would give this pasta a 10! This was very easy to make and both my son and hubby were able to help with this. Hubby whisked the sauce on the stove and my son was able to help easily. My son loved the flavor of the cheese. I thought for sure he would complain about having onions in his macaroni and cheese but he said he didn't care and finished it all. I loved having the crunchy bacon mixed in with the pasta. We will definently make this again.
Magnificent

I'm not one for pasta dishes, which usually puts me at odds with my wife, but I made this as a surprise for her and we both love it. This is going into our cookbook.

I generally like most of Rachael's recipes, but this one just didn't work. Halved the dish and it was dry, boring and tasteless. I added some roasted red pepper to add some extra flavor and that didn't even help. Sorry Rach....I'll stick with my Mom's Mac and Cheese....
Terrific!

My husband doesn't normally like Mac and Cheese. We both loved it! Even the leftovers were great. Makes a lot. Teenager didn't care for it so much though. Too much of a grown up taste I guess!
Too oniony!

I used less onion than the recipe called for because it seemed like too much. I'm so glad I did. I love onions, but they overpowered the whole dish.
Different twist on an old favorite

I only made 1/2 the recipe and it was plenty for two. I served it with grilled pork tenderloin and it was a big hit. Took longer than 30 minutes and I used three burners on the stove.
Yummo!

Delicious alternative to plain mac and cheese, the flavors compliment each other so well the result is great! I didn't have any white wine so I skipped that part it was still really good!
Loved It!

It was the star of our dinner. I made some adjustments though; mixed the bacon with the macaroni, used four cheeses (white cheddar, sharp cheddar, montery jack and parmesan) topped with crushed cheddar crackers and baked for 20 minutes.
The bacon REALLY makes it!

I cheated and used plain old cheddar, and omitted the onions. Yes I know, what's the point? I was afraid the kids wouldn't eat it...what a chicken! It turned out beautifully, loved the dijion and nutmeg..would use less bacon maybe next time
Not as good as I expected

I love quiche Lorraine, so the title got my attention, but the spinach is missing. I made as written except added a box of thawed, drained frozen spinach, mixed the bacon into the pasta mixture and put all of it into a greased casserole dish, topped with seasoned breadcrumbs and Parmesan, then baked in a 350 oven til bubbly and browned. It's no longer a 30 minute meal, but who cares, if it tastes good.

I didn't even have all the ingredients on hand...but it still came out awesome! I used smoked cheddar and provolone cheeses (delish!) and turkey pepperoni instead of bacon. The caramelized onions balance the salty with a touch of sweetness. Great base recipe that you can mold in so many different ways!
Best mac I have EVER had.

This recipe was killer. The bacon and onion just bring ordinary mac and cheese to a whole new level. I subbed in a sweet garlic mustard because I don't like dijon, and I had no gruyere on hand so I used a shredded mexican blend. Also, I used 1% milk instead of whole milk and it turned out just perfect. This is definitely going in my favorite recipes binder!!
Disappointing

Made this last night since the Grandkids were coming over for dinner. I had some boxed Mac & Cheese on hand, but I thought they'd really go crazy over home made. Well, they didn't like this one bit and I should have just made the box Mac & Cheese. I wasn't too thrilled with it either! To anyone else making it...don't bother with the bacon and onions. I don't think it added anything to the recipe.
Thanks Rachael!!

I followed this recipe exactly and found it to be a wonderfully tasty addition to our personal cookbook! It was moist, flavorful and cheesy...just as promised. My Maine-born husband says "it's a keepah". Thanks Rach!!

As a macaroni and cheese lover, I wouldn't really call this dish macaroni and cheese because it seems too sophisticated. But I've already made it 5 times because after the first time, I ended up craving it so much! I'm going to try to make the onions using brandy instead of wine to see how it turns out (because I don't have any white wine on hand tonight).
I've made it twice

This is a meal worth trying. Make sure to use half of the Onions asked, even if you love onions. Throw in a few of your own favorite seasonings for a little more flavor. Last, slice some smoked sausages in their and it's the best Mac you've ever had.

A nice change up from your basic mac and cheese...loved the flavor of the gruyere!
