I prepared this recipe for Thanksgiving and it turned out very good. The only thing I would change in the future is to add less nutmeg, since I found the flavor a bit overwhelming. Thanks Ina!

This is the first time I made mac and cheese from scratch, directions are easy to follow, but I would only add a pinch of nutmeg if any at all. I didn't use gruyere, instead an italian blend. It comes out so creamy and yum yum yum!

Definitely a classic! I have made this dish about five times and every single person that has tasted it agrees that it is the best Mac and Cheese ever. Very easy to prepare and best of all, it can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.

Used skim milk with the unsalted butter and flour and it still made the best white sauce, perfect consistency and less fat. Added really good fresh gruyere (expensive but worth it, extra sharp cheddar (Cabot's 1/2 the nutmeg called for and the rest of seasonings as described. Used Panko breadcrumbs with the unsalted butter and Baby Romas. My husband, a meat and potatoes guy, loved it, as did I. Skim milk can work very well in sauces making them not as rich and allowing the high fat cheeses to be used as the occasional treat. Would serve this, with my variations, anytime.

This was so delicious and creamy! Instead of making my own bread crumbs, I just used crushed salad croutons. I will definitely make this again and again!!!

The only thing I did differently was use a combo of swiss and cheddar, since I don't care for the cheeses used in the recipe. I did notice that when making he sauce, it has to be mixed and heated more than the recipe calls for. After adding the cheese, the heat of the milk is not enough to completely melt the cheese. The sacue has to be heated and stirred until the sauce is no longer stringy and completely incorporated. My husband nnd Ioved the tomatoes and the fresh bread crumb topping. This is a keeper for sure - perfect dinner on a cold night.
