I followed the recipe exact and doubled all the ingedients for my Superbowl party and it came out perfect! Everyone kept asking where did this recipe come from. I loved the flavors of the roasted garlic and shallots! It really make the dish. I would make it again and again! When I reheated the leftovers, I added in a little milk and it was just as good.

I made it the first time by the book and it was pretty good... nothing out of this world but tasty. I decided I wanted to make the Mac n Cheese the main course for dinner so I left out the bacon and put in 1lb of fresh Chorizo Sausage. I cut the chorizo into 3/4 inch slices and seared it in a tsp of olive oil. Make sure you drain some of the fat from the chorizo or the dish will be to oily the next day. I used an aged sharp cheddar from mexico and the flavor was bangin'!

I enjoyed this Mac & cheese... It tasted better the next day but it didn't reheat that well. It was very very greasy the next day. The only thing I did not like about it. But I took it to work and everyone enjoyed it, it was gone in 10 minutes...

...not great. I loved the bacon/panko topping. But there wa something that was just a little off. It wasn't the creamy gooey goodness that I was looking for. And the leftovers were NOT good the next day, which was dissapointing. I still love Guy though and would not hesitate to try another one of his recipes.

I decided to make this recipe for a pot luck luncheon. So, I made the recipe the night before. Big mistake! While I highly recommend this recipe, it is not the same the next day. All the fat from the bacon and cheese falls to the bottom of the dish, which makes it look disgustingly unhealthy. Again, great dish for "right now", but a real bad idea for the next day. Consider this before you take it to a friend's house or potluck.

We really enjoyed this receipe. I have made it several times and I tweeked it each time. (I have one child that isn't a bacon fan But each time we think of something new to try the next time. One of the best Mac and Cheese receipes I have tried. I used sea shells to hold more of the sauce and it was the bomb!

This recipe was great,I made it for Christmas Eve and everybody loved it,even my husband ,who's not a pasta lover.The instructions were easy to follow but too many steps and i guess you'll need someone to do the dishes for you.
Next time i'll add more shallots ,garlic,bacon and cream.

I made this mostly per the recipe, except I added 2 more slices crumbled bacon to the mac and cheese mixture before adding the topping, and used regular bread crumbs, Italian style as that is what I had on hand. I also used dried thyme but did use fresh parsley as the recipe called for. I put in freshly ground black pepper, too, but no salt. (I don't like salt. I was worried after reading others comments that it needed more seasoning. I made it as a side with hot italian sausages and canned corn. My family all loved it. It didn't need extra seasoning when it was next to the spicy sausages on our plates. If I had made it as a main dish, I think I would have added some more spice. Maybe ground chipotle, as my husband and I both love chipotle, or maybe some cajun spice mix. Maybe with more pepper jack and less cheddar may have kicked it up a bit, too. Still a great recipe. As a side it fed us all (5 of us well with slightly over half leftover (lunch tomorrow!

I am with Phyllis from Napa. I tasted the final product and was not wowed at all. I felt like I must have forgotten an ingredient, but after double checking, everything was in there.
