This is a huge crowd pleaser. I make this for every pop lock event we attend. I have tried to use evaporated milk instead of "real milk" Hubby could tell the difference. He preferred the "real" milk I prefer this M&C over anything you can buy

I don't think my review will stand out among the nearly 2k, especially because I cheated. But for starters, this recipe is outstanding. I've never made mac & cheese from scratch, but I was looking for a vehicle to extend the use of my leftover smoked pulled pork. I realize adding the pork alters the outcome, but just on the noodles & cheese this was a winner.

I skipped the egg as an oversight and added dried sage (for the pork. I added minced jalepenos, and also carmelized the onions before adding. So my version was a mutation. But the outcome was spectacular. I will say I sampled the noodles and roux prior to adding the pulled pork and baking, and it was delicious. Given the added volume, I used a 3Q dish which made a shallower dish, and in turn created extra crust. All very good. For anyone looking to extend the use of pulled pork--this is a great dish. Thanks AB

Creamy and crunchy makes a perfect main course or a side dish. The kids love every time. (I do without onions for the kids

I've made a variation of this plenty of times, and every time... it comes out wonderful! I don't add the onion (just a personal preference and I substitute gouda for a portion of the cheddar - it always just disappears. This has become a MAJOR comfort food, and during the holidays it was what everyone asked me to make!

I have now prepared this recipe what feels like a hundred times for my family and for entertaining because it is SO GOOD. I always stay fairly true to the recipe with the exception of using more cheese in the sauce and on top, plus I add garlic with the onions. (Make sure you mince the onions as finely as you can so they are "invisible." Recently I have taken to adding jalapenos into the mixture...another big hit at the table! Leftovers are not quite as creamy, but the flavor is consistently amazing.

This was a Fantastic recipe!!!! I read some of the other reviews and was a little hesitant to make this, but I'm really glad that I did. My whole family loved it! It was not "gritty", or "dry" as some others had said, instead it was creamy and full of flavor! Maybe others should shorten the cooking time.? Just a suggestion.

I have a friend who went on and on about his best ever mac and cheese and the "secret ingredient".
Well this blows that out of the ballpark!!!
It is one of the best mac and cheese recipes I have made.
The next day fried, if there is any left, is also fantastico!!!
I am continually AMAZED by people who do NOT follow the recipe and after altering it, or mentioning they do not have an ingredient, give it a poor rating. Go out and buy the ingredients and rate the recipe. We don't care about your subverted recipe. We want to know about this recipe. And it is great.

Thanks for the recipe,
it rocks.

Not as successful as I would have thought. Alton's recipes are always reliable but this one fell a bit flat. Seemed a bit light on flavor. I would recommend mixing up the cheese a bit. Perhaps substituting some gruyere or smoked gouda.
