    This is one fantastic recipe. Instead of the elbow macaroni try celantini, the cheese sauce totally envelops and fills these delicatable pastas. My family won't accept any other mac & cheese for holiday feasts! As to the reviewers who claim this recipe is too salty, just adjust the addition of salt in the recipe to your tastes.

    So very easy to make, rich and creamy. This has become my signature dish to bring to pot luck dinners and the casserole dish is always emptied fast!

    sorry to all those who think this is 5 star mac and cheese----this recipe is WAY TOO SALTY!
    perhaps if you take the salt completely out of the recipe (even the boiling water you might be able to taste the three wonderful cheeses in this recipe.
    also found there was quite a bit of leftover cheese sauce which i had to toss given the salt dominance.

    Wow! My family loved it! I used a couple of different cheeses to keep cost down. The pinko wouldn't brown, but was crispy enough to eat when taken out of oven. I will make this again. I will probably add the bacon next time like another reviewer added.

    Really good recipe. I halved the white cheddar though-as it was more than enough after I shredded 8 oz (look at the recipe, it doesn't say 1# of shredded cheese, it says 1# cheese, shredded. This doesn't make 6 servings, though, unless you're feeding Sumo wrestlers. I filled 2 casserole dishes (not 9x13 so that my family of 5 wasn't looking at leftovers for the next 100 years. Half is waiting in my freezer for another night. Panko may not have been browned when cooked per the recipe, but it was crunchy--so I think it's ok the way it's written. I could see melting a little butter to mix with it before topping too, though. And yes, 2 c. of the Panko is way too much--use your judgment when adding it, I'd say. As for the reviewer complaining about the cost of the cheese--you saw the price when you were at the store, if it was out of your budget range, why purchase it? Just saying.

    The three varieties of cheese here give this mac 'n' cheese recipe a complex and delicious flavor. As the others suggested, cut out the salt (or just add a little since the cheeses are already salty and cut back on the pepper. To resolve the panko not browning, I browned it in a saucepan with a little butter before sprinkling on the mac 'n' cheese. That worked great. Also, use judgment regarding how much panko to add.

    Yummy recipe,my family devoured it. I added bacon and butter to the bread crumbs, they browned very nicely. I agree probably doesn't need the full 2 cups of panko.

    I followed the recipe to the letter but I didn't care for it. It lacked flavor and the cheeses were pricey for a mom on a budget. Won't make again
