    I haven't made this yet but I did have it at TGIF a week ago and am still thinking about it. Excellent!!! I only hope it is as good when I make it myself.

    I have made this several times and it is always as good as the first time we had it. I never tire of it and look for "excuses" to make it. When I buy the cheeses I always get enough that I can make it a second time in a couple of weeks because after I make it, and it's gone I keep thinking about it for days! Really good the way they make it at TGIF with a chicken breast on top!

    I tried this WINNER at TGIF's and it was FANTASTIC. I came home and madeit and it was UBER-FANTASTIC. It may be costly to make, your waistline may suffer, and your colon might rebel, but it is worth it!!!!

    I scrolled thru all the recipes and this one caught my attention because of all the ingredients. Yes it's a lot of expensive cheese to buy. BUT oh so worth it in the end. The end result was awesome. I made it for my family on Christmas day. There were so happy. They loved it. So now this will be one of those old traditional recipes we will have for many years at our holiday table.

    I have never made a dish, where family members have begged me for the leftovers! This delicious macaroni and cheese made me a superstar because it was so rich, creamy, cheesy, and sprinkled with bacon(which was the unique surprise!. I'll admit, it took a long time to make but it was WORTH IT! I'm planning on making it for Christmas dinner! This recipe is simply faboulous!
    However, I made one slight deviation from the dish and substituted Fontina with Mozzeralla, because every market I went to did not have Fontina in stock. However, it still turned out delicious!!

    I seen the episode and wanted to make this....needless to say I did. All I can say is amazing! Now everyone in my house requests this at least once a month...some even offer to pay me for it. Now at every family gathering my dad asks me to bring this. Kudos to Rick Massa!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The gooeyness of this mac and cheese is just perfect. Don't make the mistake of thinking thicker is better. It should start off thinner than you want it to be at the end or the macaroni (I used cavateppiwill absorb the goo and it will be dry. The cheese sauce alone is worth making. I cheaped out on the cheese but it got rave reviews with Fontinella, mozzarella, gorgonzola, and tillamook 2 year old white cheddar (all on sale cheap The other cheeses were all a dollar an ounce. The flavor may be for grown ups or kids with open minds but you could convert to kid friendly easily. My sixteen year old was very excited with the gobs of it we had leftover that microwaved up pretty well. He understands not to heat up the macaroni and cheese too much or it turns into an oil slick. It is in the "please make it again" section of my recipes.

    I made this recipe for a dinner party a week after the episode aired, and it was to die for! My picky kids even loved it. I made the recipe exactly as stated, and I wouldn't change a thing. It is NOT a light recipe--you will need to spend an extra hour or so on the treadmill--but it's well worth it! The cold weather has returned, and I can't wait to make this amazing comfort food recipe again. If you are looking for heaven in a 9x13 dish, this is it!
