    I've made this recipe twice now. I mixed it up a little by adding Proscuitto instead of bacon which came out excellent. I also added mozzerella and only did half the gruyer cheese. The bread on top adds a nice crunch too. My whole family loves this, even my 5 yr old who is very picky. This one goes into the family book to be used again and again. Thanks Ina!

    Wow, I almost feel like a freak posting this. Everyone loved and raved about this recipe so I decided to go for it, changing nothing as the great reviews spoke for themselves. I am NOT a novice cook but I am certainly in a tiny minority opinion here. I had all the cheeses stated as well, I wanted the best flavour. Well, flavour was fine, a litte more "adult" tasting to be sure which was nice.... but dry! OMG it was just so so dry. I couldn't fully appreciate flavour with the dish being so bland in that it was so dry. I know the word "baked" means just that so I'm not expecting stove-top creamy, but, I actually re-checked the recipe to be sure I had not actually missed something. For the expense, it certainly was not a winner for me. I would never do this one again.

    Very good! I didn't use nutmeg or basil, and the only cheeses I used were sharp Cheddar and mozzarella. I also baked about 6-8 oz of chicken and cut into small cubes then added it into the mix. Very good addition!!!!

    Love the recipe - made it many times with and without the Gorgonzola. I often halve the recipe. The only change I make is cooking the pasta for 3 minutes so the pasta isn't mushy - just my preference. Love Grueyer but it is $26/lb here! We still enjoy it 3-4 times per year. Everyone who has tasted it thinks it is the BEST, even the grandchildren. Thanks, Ina.

    Love this recipe!! Like others, I'm not crazy about blue cheese and just added extra gruyere and cheddar. I use sharp Irish white cheddar which has a very robust flavor. For a little additional flavor, I pressed a whole clove into a quarter of an onion and put in the milk as it heated -- delicious!

    Every time I make this for a gathering, it gets rave reviews. I've made it many time since it is simply the best mac n cheese. Sometimes I mix in sauted portabella mushrooms, crushed garlic, chopped green onion and top with a handful of crushed lightly salted onions(salad topperwhich makes it extra special.

    The cheese is a bit pricy, but definitely worth it.

    I don't eat macaroni and cheese too often but this was well worth the wait. It is far superior than any other recipe I have ever tried. Treat yourself once and a while with this meal. It is to die for just don't change the recipe. It's perfect the way it is.

    I think this was the best mac and cheese I have ever had! I left out the bacon and used parsley because I didn't have any basil. This fed two of us as a side for dinner and then we had the leftovers for lunch. The leftovers were almost better! I will make this again. Thanks Ina!
