This was one of the BEST mac and cheeses I have ever had! Definitely will be making this again! I did it a little bit differently though, like some of the other reviewers. I switched the cheese amounts, only added a pinch of nutmeg, and added a couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Fresh, ripe tomatoes make this dish! Don't omit these! Super creamy, super good, and it reheats well! Amazing mac and cheese!

I've made just the cheese sauce on several occasions using old white cheddar and adding 1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard and poured it over roasted broccoli and cauliflower. It is such a hit each and every time that it is all I am requested to bring to any family gathering (of which there are many!!! Each and every time it gets devoured...now that's success.

Definitely the BEST Mac and Cheese I have ever made. I was a little skepital about purchasing the gruyere since it was $9 for .52#. But I'm glad I did. Next time I won't add so much nutmeg, but other than that I think I've found my #1 mac and cheese choice!

This is by far the best homemade mac and cheese recipe and believe me I have tried a lot. I don't put in the whole half teaspoon of the nutmeg because I like it to be really subtle - I just add about a pinch. I get my gruyere from trader joes because it is a lot cheaper than buying it at other grocery stores. And since it freezes really well I stock up since the nearest Trader Joes is 45 min from me.

This is such a delicious recipe! We made it for Easter and it was a huge hit. We used panko for the topping and eliminated the tomatoes and the nutmeg. I know some people found this recipe expensive to prepare, but Harris Teeter now sells grated gruyere and it is only $2.99 a bag.

This is my favorite go-to mac and cheese recipe ever!! I've never made it with Gruyere, never been inclined towards buying expensive cheese for low-key weeknight dinner but I am hoping to try it some day. I use a combination of sharp cheddar and Parmesan/mozzarella and it ALWAYS works.
I generally don't like nutmeg but love the flavor it gives this dish. The breadcrumbs and tomatoes add that special something to this bake. Mmmmm, cannot wait to try it again!

This nutmeg in this recipe was very over powering and made the dish more sweet rather than savory. I'm a lover of all cheeses, especially the stinky ones, so I just knew this would be a hit! I was very wrong. The mac and cheese completely lacked flavor. I had to throw this out. ALSO FYI PEOPLE DO NOT FOLLOW THE RECIPE ON THIS SITE, IT IS NOT THE SAME AS IN INA'S PRINTED BOOK. But either way, the recipe isn't very good.

OMGosh this is sooo good and I am NOT a big mac n cheese lover. I did do a couple of things different. I did not use Gruyere cheese at all I only used sharp cheddar and used 1 quart of half n half and no tomatos as my family and I despise tomatos but this was really good
