I tried this recipe as it is written with no changes. Blah. This is pretty tasteless and needs major additions (such as what other reviewers suggested. The corn is interesting to say the least but the flavor was non-existent. I did cook the pasta in salted water but I think using mostly mozzarella is the problem here. Definitely change the cheese (hot pepper with SHARP cheddar maybe, use half and half, add bacon bits or sausage, maybe some onion, etc. Don't waste your time as/is. If you want a REALLY GOOD recipe to use AS/IS, try the Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese.

This was so super good! My whole family loved it! Yvan Lemoine is a great chef! I was really hoping he would win the next food network star. Although he didn't win, I think he helped America realize the importance of eating a home cooked meal with the people they love, their family.
This is a great recipe but I didn’t have any croutons so I used Ritz crackers and butter it was still really good. I hope this helps. :

This was the first time, watching The Next Food Network Star, that I immediately thought to myself "I need to get that recipe!" I thought the recipe was great, using the creamed corn was much easier than trying to make a bechamel sauce!

To cut down on dishes to wash, I cooked the pasta first (in salted water of course, maybe those of you who thought it was bland didn't salt your pasta water??.
While it was draining, used the same pot for the corn, mixed the cornstarch with the milk in the measuring cup and brought it to a simmer. Took it off the burner and added the cheese and egg (beaten in the same cup I had used to measure the milk. I used extra sharp new york cheddar, left out the nutmeg (don't like it and the hot sauce (forgot it.

Will definitely be making this one again!! Yvan, I hope you DO get your own show anyway!! I am always looking for affordable family friendly meals!

I made this recipe exactly as Yvan said and it was by far the best mac and cheese that I have ever had. My kids loved it and that is not an easy task. If he would teach me more recipes like this I would definately tune in to watch his show.

I have never been the cook in our family, but this recipe certainly changed that! My family actually fought over who would get the last serving. I read other reviews and made a few modifications. This is a very versatile recipe! I added a little extra corn, swapped the ratio of cheddar to mozzarella and used sharp cheddar instead of mild. I used half and half to add richness and for the topping I used a combo of panko, melted butter, and Parmesan with a few drops of hot sauce. Absolutely delicious. This one's going in the favorites.

The sweet corn was a nice spin on the traditional mac n cheese. The whole family cleared their plates, including my 17 month old. We used half whole grain elbows and half regular. It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe Yvan.

Wow! Made this for friends for a "steakhouse menu" themed dinner. We had bacon wrapped filets, oven-roasted broccoli, and this mac 'n cheese. Let me tell you that this mac was a HUGE hit. Everyone had seconds. I made some changes based on previous reviews: Instead of milk I used a cup of half and half. Used 8 oz of pepper jack cheese instead of the mild yellow cheddar. Substituted 12 oz of sharp cheddar for the mozzarella. I folded all of the cheese in at once and added a package of real bacon bits to the mixture. For the topping, instead of croutons, I used tomato slices that I had cut into quarter pieces and arranged atop the casserole dish, then spread a mixture of about 1 cup panko bread crumbs and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese that had been mixed with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, over the top. Baked in a 9 x 13 casserole dish at 350/375 for about 20 minutes. It was absolutely phenomenal!

This was my very first recipe from the food shows I took the time to find and make and wow! So good! I used a combination of sharp cheddar, white cheddar, and jack cheese. Also added much more hot sauce. Delish! Cant wait for leftovers!
