    This was an excellent mac & cheese recipe, I too thought it was a little dry but it might be because I cooked it too long. I might try to make more of the bechamel sauce next time and try using other cheeses that aren't too pricey. All and all I will definetly be making this again.

    This is an outstanding version of an old favourite. I subsituted Swiss for the Gruyere to help cut the cost a bit. I also added fresh sliced roma tomatoes on top before the breadcrumbs...it makes for a nice touch. This is an extremely rich, luscious dish! It has gotten rave reviews each time I make it...there are no disappointments. Not for everyday, but as a special occasion side, or a very full meal it is wonderful. You have to try this one!

    This was even more amazing after I froze the 2nd one...I made 1 batch & divided it...a couple days, thawed it out and baked it at 375 degrees for about 30 min. The 1st one I baked was very greasy.
    The 2nd one was perfect and I think it even tasted better.

    I didn't use Fontina...just parm, sharp white cheddar and gruyere. I added 1 tsp dry mustard and just a bit of nutmeg to the bechamel. For the 2C of liquid, I used 1C full fat half & half, 1/2 C fat free half & half and 1/2 C whole milk. I also splashed a bit of whole milk over the top of the casserole before I added the bread crumbs.

    This was a BIG hit at a dinner party we had!!

    It was excellent. I have made it twice in the last week for family gatherings and it will be our new go to mac and cheese recipe. the second time I added 1 cup more of the half and half to make it creamier, added a little more white pepper,and 1 tsp of yellow mustard powder to give it a little more pop. Thank you Emeril for a great recipe.

    The best mac & Cheese ever!! Not a cheap eat and with all the cheese it can't be that good for the ol heart but oh so worth it. I have made this a few times and it just gets better and better. Add a little cream if you need to heat up leftovers and its as good the second time as it is the first! Thanks Emeril!

    This is a fabulous recipe! I did not have Creole seasoning so I made my own - easy. Don't skip the seasoning, I think it makes the dish.

    Excellent recipe. We are throwing away all other recipes. This has moved to the top of the list... A little pricey to prepare, but absolutely worth it... The flavor is phenomenal.
