I love this Mac N Cheese. It is the best I've ever had or made. I always make a double batch.

Megpanda-I have not had the gritty problem with this recipe. I follow it to a tee and never had a problem. I'm not sure what would make it gritty? You definately don't want to use Velveeta!

I'll be making it again this week and see if I notice anything that may cause yours to be gritty.

This recipe, like everything else of Tylers, is wonderful. 2 things I would change - I would use more bacon and then I would cook it before I cook the onions to crisp it up a little more.

Here is my problem . . . every time I try to make a Mac and Cheese recipe, the sauce turns out gritty. Which means that it's not so much a sauce as chucks of gritty cheese on the noodles. I make the roux and cooked it for 5 minutes and I heated the whole milk before adding it to the mixture. I used good quality white cheddar cheese.

This is driving me crazy! What can I do to fix this? Is it the cheese? Is it supposed to turn out this way?

I don't want to use Velveeta to make it creamy - did you know it's actually clear before they add the color?

I made this for Thanksgiving. We had 11 people for dinner, 9 of them between the ages of 15 and 23, and Well... Today is Tuesday, and they are STILL talking about this mac and cheese. I did make a few changes.. First, being a true southern girl, I used almost and entire pound of bacon, mixed most of it throughout the casserole, and topped it with the rest. Now, just to UP the bacon factor, I skipped the butter in the roux, and used the bacon fat. (it's once a year people, relax! I also sauteed the onions in the fat, and mixed them throughout the dish, instead of topping with them. I used a GOOD sharp white cheddar (2 blocks, shredded in the sauce, and added 3 decent slices of good ole Velveeta for stability. Topped it with shredded sharp yellow cheddar, (didn't use the extra thyme on top, or the parsley and I'm tellin' you, I think I've tried conservatively 10 to 12 mac and cheese recipes this year... this is THE one. Unbelievable.

We've been making this for a few years now. Actually its "Dad's" dish to make for the Holidays and any other time we can talk him into it. It's a little pricey and takes some time but very very worth it. You'll have a hard time with the old style after having this. Thanks Tyler

A big hit! I've made many mac n cheese dishes in my life, but ive never recieved so many compliments as i did with this recipe. I did top it with a bacon, panko, butter mixture instead of the thyme, onion, bacon mixture. I also used half heavy cream and half whole milk to up the richness. I dont think it was completly necessary, but every raved about it!

This was so good. The girls (10 & 11 made this for dinner the other night. It was easy enough for the girls to make almost by themselves. We did add different cheese as suggested by other cooks. This will be made often.

I tried this last year at Christmas time for our work party. WOW! The V.P. of our company said it was the best mac and cheese he ever tasted, and he said it in front of the whole work force. I gave the credit to Tyler. It is the best ever! Thanks Tyler, for all the awesome things you make that are so good, yet so easy to make.
