    I started making this a couple years ago after my dad made it for many years, no need to change a thing. Sometimes the sauce is a bit runny and I cut back the milk a bit. Only change I make is 1/2 cheddar 1/2 Italian 4 cheese blend. Awesome leftover too!

    What a great recipe! Traditional mac and cheese but with some personality...just how I like it. I get compliments every time I make this. On the nights I'm pressed for time, I skip last step and serve it without baking the mac and cheese with the bread crumbs and last cup of cheese. Sometimes I keep the sauce separate and just scoop it onto the pasta so I can have it all week long without having overly soggy noodles. Five stars all the way! Well worth the effort.

    This is absolutely the best mac and cheese I have ever tasted. It takes a little extra time but well worth it. I make a large dish because my family actually enjoys it as leftovers too. I serve this with asparagus done in the oven with some essence sprinkled over it. Gives the asparagus a nice bite to it. I highly recommend the mac and cheese and remember to make extra.

    This dish was spicy and full of flavor.It was pure deliciousness. Adding some extra olive oil and some half & half makes the meal creamy.

    I've made this dish multiple times and for all sorts of people and they all agree that this is the best mac and cheese ever! I substituted red peppers for the green since they look and taste better in my opinion and kept everything else. Cooking times varied depending on what stove I used to cook the flour (gas vs. electric but it turned out great every time. Best part was, if there were leftovers, it still tasted great, if not better!

    No substitutions are needed, I'm ntot a fan of peppers so I left them out. this recipe is excellent and better the next day...made this on numerous occasions. Best when coming home after a hard nights work at the bars ;

    This recipe would have been great except we followed the advice from other reviewers and left out the salt. If you are using unsalted butter in the recipe, add the extra salt. It really does need it. Aside from the decided lack of salt, the cheese sauce turned out lovely. The children liked the addition of the sausage.

    WOW!! This was yummy! I started this recipe too late in the evening, and instead of baking in the oven, I served into bowls & put additional cheddar cheese on top (omitted breadcrumbs. It was still AWESOME!! I would definitely recommend 4 total cups of milk AND chopped up tomatoes, and no anise seeds, bell peppers, or salt necessary (add salt afterwards if still needed. I WILL make this again. Thanks Emeril!
