I made this for Super Bowl Sunday and was so excited to try it after reading the reviews. I love every meal I've had at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas, so had every confidence that this would be mac and cheese nirvana. I was very disappointed. I made it exactly as the recipe reads and with the amount of milk and cheese anticipated a moist, cheesy dish. The flavor was ok, but the massive amount of cheesy sauce apparently absorbed into the pasta resulting in a very dry mac and cheese, The search continues.

We love this mac and cheese! Lots of prep but definitely worth it. If you are serving this with something else (soup/salad/protein it will easily make 8-10 servings.

This was absolutely the best mac and cheese I have ever eaten. My wife and I have tried a half dozen other recipes from this site from well known names, but none can compare to this.
I'd caution you that the time the recipe says it takes to make must assume you have all the ingredients prepped. If you start the clock when you haven't already done all the chopping, grating, whisking, and measuring... trust me... double the time to 2 hours. Still, at 2 hours this is without a doubt worth it!
P.S. this is excellent reheated in the toaster oven! Doesn't turn to mush-

I didn't think this recipe was anything special, honestly. I've made multiple different kinds of homemade mac and cheese, and this is most definitely at the bottom of the list of top mac and cheese recipes.
The cheese, itself, was hard to find and ridiculously expensive. And, the cheese is about all the flavoring you taste in the dish. To me, it was a little bland. I wouldn't suggest it to anybody, and I'm taking it out of my recipe box.
