    This was super! I used cream for the dairy because I figure cheese is a guilty pleasure any way.

    This was a great recipie. I used fat-free milk and low fat cheese. It was delicious. A great way to serve left over ham.

    Just so- so for me. It wasn't bad tasting at all...but..I've had a lot better mac and cheese dishes. Try Ina Garten's Mac and Cheese. Mmmmmmm..

    Good, but needed some spicing up. The gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese flavors seemed to cancel each other, leaving the dish rather bland. I added thyme, hot sauce, dehydrated onions, chives, and sea salt. Also more ham. Turned out great after I doctored it a bit.

    Yummy! And I love the fact that I could replace the cream for broth and milk. I didn't feel the least bit guilty while eating it. Only thing I did different is I used all sharp cheddar. And the nutmeg and mustard gave great flavor. Even my kids liked it!

    Wow, this was awesome and easy! I made some fun substitutions: I used bacon fat instead of butter and low fat milk to balance the naughtiness. I also used 1 cup sharp cheddar and 1 cup jalapeno jack cheese...delicious! I skipped the nutmeg. I will make this again and again!

    I love to cook and refer to recipes from the food network frequently. I very rarely follow a recipe completely I like to ad-lib usually to spice things up. I noticed this recipe got some bad reviews (as well as good this recipe is perfect for giving you the measurements and ratios of liquid to flour to thicken-- the simple easy to forget things. This is a great recipe. I spiced it up by sautéing onions and garlic with a little fresh tyme with the butter before adding flour and using sharp cheddar only and beef stock and ham steak cubed because thats what I had in the kitchen and it turned out AWESOME! If it wasn't for my 13 month old daughter I would have added hot peppers of some sort. Use your imagination!

    Wow, great recipe! Excellent results at home when I made it. I just replaced the ham by some Spanish iberico de bellota ham, also called black hoof or pata negra for an improved and more refine taste. Definitely one recipe to keep on my cooking book.

    This mac and cheese would probably be a lot better with just cheddar. I'm sure of it. I love Asiago cheese and Parmesan cheese, and Gruyere is dry like those but has a super strong flavor. And of course it's expensive! I will probably make this again, but just replace the Gruyere with cheddar.
