This is one of my favorite recipes of all time! The sharp/bitter flavors of the cheeses where such a change from the average mac & cheese. Not to mention the basil was delicious also. I liked the fact that it wasn't super ooey & gooey like your typical baked mac, too. Such grown up flavors, I loved it!!

I made this recipe for my husband a couple of weeks ago (at his request after watching the show with me and he loved it. The blue cheese is not overwhelming as I thought it would be. The flavor of the cheeses meld together perfectly. The addition of bacon is perfect and the bread crumbs top it off nicely! As soon as he finished the leftovers, he asked me to make it again.

I made this for valentine's day for my boyfriend and it turned out amazing! I prepared it the night before and just popped it in the oven. It didn't take as long as the recipe called for, so keep your eye on it. THIS WAS DELICIOUS! I crave it daily.

First off, let me say I am not a great cook, but I am learning on my own nowadays - thanks to the Food Network. I tried this recipe as an addition to our Easter dinner and it was an instant hit. What had the family and guests buzzing was the 3 cheese blend. I will certainly do this again.

I loved this recipe. The first time I made it, I followed the recipe; the second time, I added a bit more milk and used less blue cheese. (It was a bit dry for my taste. My husband loves this, too, and I had cravings for it after the first time I ate it.

This dish is absolutely delicious! I love the combination of cheeses. My entire family loved it...kids included. If you cannot find Gruyere, substitute Jarlsberg, it gives you the same kick. I also prefer Gorgonzola over blue cheese. Our combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyere and Jarlsberg is so creamy and smooth that even my picky 3 year old couldn't stop eating it! This one is a keeper!!!

if you're expecting creamy mac and cheese, you better just stick to your velveta. my husband and i loved this recipe. the different cheeses make this recipe interesting. the bread crumbs and basil topping really make this dish. i made mine without he bacon. i think next time, i might add some more salt.

I usually LOVE Ina's recipes, but this one was not very good. It was not creamy or flavorful. With all that cheese, it still was bland. Mac and cheese is meant to be creamy, not dry like this recipe!

Delicious and easy--not dry at all. I wouldn't sub out the cheeses; the combo of distinct flavors is essential. It's a lot of food for two people, but my husband polished off the gratin dish and I had to forcibly stop myself.
