Triple Cheddar and Colby Jack bring lots of cheese flavor to this creamy mac & cheese with just a hint of heat.
Delicious basic recipe! Even my picky fiancé loved it. I added extra cheese as I do with everything - also added appx 1 tbsp of prepared mustard, 3/4 tsp garlic ( I love garlic) and 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce to give the flavour a little added zip - it was an excellent addition. Also sprinkled breadcrumbs on top and broiled it at the end for about 3 mins to add a crispy crunchy top - it was a hit!
Read MoreI followed the directions exactly. It was very dry. The cheese sauce itself was perfect if only using half the amount of elbow macaroni. Next time I will double the cheese sauce ingredients for a full size casserole or only use half the amount of elbow Mac for a half casserole size. I do think this recipe will be smooth and creamy with the right Mac mix. The cheese sauce method is great to use with many other recipes also.

it dried out soooo fast. don't get me wrong, it was good, but i guess my expectations of creamy macaroni were too high.
Best mac and cheese I've ever had! I am not a fan of spicy food so I did not put the cayenne pepper in it. Also, I added bread crumbs to the top before I put it in the oven which gave it a touch of crunch when eating. Will definitely make again!
I doubled the recipe and added a bit more cheese, will definitely make this again. Yum!
Delicious I made it and the fam loved it, I used a different type of noodles and a different cheese and instead of half and half I used sour cream I think that made it a bit better!!
Amazing! I substituted mozzarella cheese instead of the Colby and added some bread crumbs on top. Also crumbled 2 strips if hickory bacon! No leftovers. Excellent recipe!
I added a can of Rotels green chilis and jalapeños. Oh yes, good flavor and it added a bit of a kick.
My family Loved it!!! So creamy and good!! I just left out the cayenne. Not big on spicy things.
Made this following the recipe exactly. Turned out great! My daughter who is very picky about her mac and cheese went back for seconds.
easy peasy mac and cheesy. this was amazing and had just the right amount of heat. perfect. broke chef had to use a pot, but it worked well!
Turned out great though left out the cayenne pepper and used Colby jack and cheddar mix of shredded cheese. Sprinkled bacon on top :). Thumbs up from my son who is a very picky eater :).
It wasn't terrible, I also didn't have any half and half to use. I prefer not to use shredded cheese next time. Just texture preferences.
I added milk instead of the cream and it was vary good and I will always keep this recipe. I also did not use cheddar I use only coby jack cheese
This is the Mac n cheese I dreamed of. Amazing as is, or basic enough to tailor to your taste. Easy to make, my 15 year old son helped. When it was finished baking we broiled it for about 10-15 to add a crispiness to the top. We tripled the recipe . Used a whole box of macaroni.
I add bacon and made a ritz cracker topping delicious.
I made this at Christmas time and it was a hit! Easy recipe that resulted in warm cheesy happiness! I've had requests to make it again. Winner!
Made this today with very little deviation and used extra sharp white cheddar. It turned out scrum dilly odious!!
I made add just as the recipe said only instead of using half-and-half or use regular milk and put a total of a cup and a half then I added half as much more cheese and some leftover white cheese case so I had.they probably would've came out just as good without the case up at the case or made a really super creamy excellent recipe
It was an easy recipe to follow. It came out well but trying to reheat it in the oven dried it out too much unfortunately. I’ll know not to reheat it that way next time.
I made this tonight, but I added half pound of bacon, and I couldn't find Colby cheese, so I replaced all the cheese with a whole brick of velveeta, and 1/2 cup of shredded Old Cheddar for the upper crust. Also next time I'd use 1/2 as much Cayenne, as the bite might be just too much for sensitive pallets.
This is delish! I made 1/2 the pasta and almost the entire sauce hence the 4 instead of 5 star. It’s a perfect Mac n cheese with double the sauce. I used herbed butter and and habanero jack
Very good recipe, and it’s adaptable to suit your own tastes. I added garlic powder and smoked paprika to the cheese sauce. Other than that, I followed it exactly.
this was ok. I used cheese I had on hand, and needs some bread crumbs as well. thanks
Other cooks reported it dry so I added 1/2 cup chicken broth and it was great. Used a little more cayenne and black pepper per my individual taste.
I loved it and my kids loved it , I made double so I’m about to go have me another bowl ..
I really enjoyed this. I did put some butter on top as suggested. I didn't think it was dry. Will make again.
Followed this recipe to the tee! Mac and Cheese came out really well. I made no changes . We had this with the baked thigh recipe here, and it was delicious all together! This will be our recipe for homemade mac & cheese from now on!!!
Very good recipe! I'm hard to please with mac and cheese. I added a little Velveeta to the mix as well as a 1/4 tsp. of onion powder. I also put a bread crumb topping on. Velvety smooth sauce with just the right kick, not too oily or bland. Will be using again!
Quick, easy and the family loves. Perfect portion for family of 4
I have made this numerous times and the kids & friends all love it!
This recipe was delicious. I was very proud of how delicious it came out. I’ll definitely save this recipe & make this again. I did use a house blend instead of regular salt & pepper to add some extra flavor.
Very good but definitely add more cheese sauce. We topped it with crushed cheeze its for an extra crunch. We'll definitely make again
Very good!
It was very thick so I think is best to add 3 - 4 tablespoons of milk and extra cayenne pepper
My kids won’t eat anything but they loved this!A lot of reviews said there’s was dry but mine was not and it’s the best Mac n cheese I’ve eaten.Great recipe!
Used low fat sour cream and 2% milk. Shredded in in hard Gouda. Used GF flour
I cooked it stove top
The only ingredient omitted was the cayenne pepper. Followed directions and we definitely enjoyed it. Although I can see why some reviewers said it wasn't creamy enough. Personally we didn't mind the consistency of it but next time I make it I'll make a bit more cream sauce. The taste was good and it's not that expensive of a tasty side dish to my baked chicken!
I doubled the batch, and I always use my cheese then required lol but it was gone! No left overs. my kids n hubs loved it! No complaints here!!
Made thia for Christmas meal. Easy to make. Taste fantastic.
Very bland and dry - I tried adding more salt, pepper, etc. and more liquid to the base. Won't make again. It also made a 2 quart dish - that's a lot for "4 servings"!
