This mac n' cheese recipe was delicious! The three cheeses gave it extra character. I served it with a side salad. This dish is yummy comfort food. My husband LOVED it. Thank you Ina for so many delicious and easy recipes! And thank you for all of your helpful tips!

I love Ina's recipes but this one was a bomb...the blue cheese overwhelmed all of the other ingredients...would omit completely if made again...we threw it away as our guests, who like blue cheese did not find it edible either.

I made this dish for a dinner party recently and it got great reviews from everyone.
I used vanilla soy milk which was pretty ridiculous (in hindsight but it was all I had on hand- in spite of it being a bit sweet- everyone enjoyed it and took second helpings.
Agree that making this dish- as good as it is- creates one big mess. Price you pay for a new great take on mac n cheese.

Loved this dish, and won't do Mac 'n Cheese any other way now! True, it does dirty up a lot of pots, and true, it's a lot more than I think two people would usually eat, but it's worth every dirty pot and calories consumed! Yummmmmmmmmmm!

This was great, but next time I'll use 3 cups of milk (and 2.5 tbsp of flour. I also added 1/8 tsp of cracked red pepper flakes to the bread slices, in the food processor.
The amounts of cheese as listed does produce a perfectly fine balance of earthiness and tartness. But I'm a blue cheese nut, so I'll be using 3 or 4 ounces of the stuff next time.
The amount of food this recipe yields is enough for 8 side-dish sized servings; or 4 or 5 heaping servings. (The recipe summary says this will serve 2. I'd enjoy seeing 2 people shovel down all this food in one sitting. It's tasty, yes, but you get a lot of food out of this one.

This is a great recipe! It's easy, even if does dirty up a lot of dishes. I added 1/2 a pound of shrimp and some sauteed mushrooms to make it more of a meal instead of just a side dish. If you want it to be creamier, increase the milk to 2 cups and only bake it long enough to brown the bread crumbs.

I made this with whole wheat elbows, extra sharp cheddar cheese, some hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and put panko bread crumbs on top - it came out fabulous!

I'm not usually a fan of mac and cheese, but loved the combination of cheeses along with the bacon flavor. Used 2% milk and Italian bread slices because that's what I had in the house and it was great. For us, this was a 2-serving recipe (big eaters. I doubled the recipe and re-heated half for a second night. I would serve this recipe to company in a heartbeat.
