So Darn Good! I love Reuben Sandwiches & Mac & Cheese. Why not blend together? Hubby and 5 kids loved it. I will make it again!

WOW! This was fantastic! Even my husband said "it was okay" and he doesn't like anything. I absolutely LOVE reuben sandwichs and macaroni and cheese so this was a wonderful combo. It was pretty easy to make too. Will be making this often!

I have to agree with a little bit of every body's feedback. I think it was certainly costly. I decided not to go with the gruyere and added just more chedder. Nobody mentioned how salty this dish is! Wheww! I needed many glasses of water after eating this. Ohhh and don't go overboard with making your own breadcrumbs. Store bought works just fine! Lastly, I didn't broil the dish I simply baked it for 20min.
