This turned out perfectly. The only change I made was to exclude the Worcestershire and mustard powder (my kids can detect even small traces of these) and increase the flour to tablespoons instead of teaspoons.
Couldn't ask for a better mac and cheese recipe. Delicious! I made it for my Grandson who was coming for a visit but I couldn't help sampling it myself :) I used 3 slices of American cheese, cheddar and some Gruyere because that is what I had. I will always use that combo as it was perfect in my opinion.
The taste was above average but a second serving was definitely not happening. I'm positive the reason my rating is low is because of the processed cheese. Yes, it was gooey and the texture was AMAZING, but because of all the processed cheese, my body didn't want to digest any more. Also, when I went to fetch some more the next morning, it was almost frozen even though it was in the fridge and not the freezer. The ingredients tense up when put under cold. It heated up fine -- however, some butter separated from the rest of the ingredients. I recommend eating it all in one night (which I don't think is possible unless you have a lot of people because of your body rejecting the processed cheese).
Very good. I added 1 tsp of cayenne for a little kick. I also changed to tsps of flour to tablespoons. That seemed to thicken it up nicely.
Love it! Halved the recipe and it worked just fine. Used Cotija cheese in place of Parmesan and cheddar and Mexican blend shred instead of processed cheese (it’s what I had on hand). Great flavor combo. Only used the teaspoon of flour, and it worked fine. Keeping this one!
Made it almost exactly as the recipe stated but doubled it since I was making it for a large crowd. I made it the night before, refrigerated it and then baked it for a few minutes to heat it up the next day. I did add some panko breadcrumbs on top since I knew I'd be baking it the next day. Turned out well...nice and creamy. The next time I might add a bit of cream to it before baking to keep it more moist.
WAY TOO MUCH GARLIC! The consistency was exactly what I was looking for but the garlic was overbearing and we couldn’t enjoy the cheesy part because of it.
Wow! Too much garlic!!! Too much half and half! I kept having to add cheese to thinken the sauce. Glad I don’t have to talk to anybody (except my hubby - poor thing) anytime soon with all the garlic. So glad I didn’t make this for company I had last weekend. So disappointed!
Tastes great but did not get thick enough.
