Really Awesome Macaroni and Cheese

This is the BEST mac and cheese recipe EVER. I have been making this for years. I usually cut back on the amount of worcestershire - that's actually what it gives a bit of a horseradish bite. But I love this, my family always raves, and it is always requested at holidays. Thanks for posting!

A very good recipe that I have used for several years now. I have been told by the family that I MUST bring the Macaroni and Cheese. I vary the cayenne by the amount of heat I want in it, I have also used Mexican Cheese Mix in place of the 1 1/4 cup of extra sharp cheddar to vary the taste. It handles it very well and is always in demand.

I think this rating has to do more with my personal tastes than the actual recipe. The sauce was a little chunky (not with cheese) and I'm not sure why (I probably did something wrong). Also, the sauce didn't really taste all that cheesy, which I had expected based on reading the other comments about the richness of the sauce. It IS rich, but not cheesy. I liked the amount of sauce that the recipe made, but I guess I was expecting something different. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the sauce itself cheesier?

This has been the best mac & cheese I've made to date. I deviated a little bit from the recipe just based on what I had onhand but the end product was perfect. I didn't have any extra sharp cheddar to cube, so I subbed a piece of Velveeta I had leftover from making some potato soup. It melted very nicely in the hot pasta. The other change was I used 8 oz of sharp cheddar and 8 oz of white cheddar shredded for the other cheese. Very creamy, great flavor. I had no problems reheating in the microwave. It still retained the soft and creamy texture for me. I think maybe the substitution of the Velveeta had something to do with that. I can't justify the rich dairy calories very often but definitely a must for special occasions. Awesome recipe!

This was great, Dh has mentioned it several times since i made it. The calories per serving amount is a little scary to me, would like to know any way to cut that a bit. I found the cooking time to be a bit longer for me, around 40 minutes.

I had a craving for mac and cheese. I halved the recipe, and left out the cayenne. This satisfied me and I really enjoyed it! Thank you Ellie!

I will make this again, but next time I will use med cheddar and leave out the eggs and the nutmeg. It wasn't as creamy as I thought it would be.

Although extremely easy to make this dish was just a little to rich for our taste. It might benefit by adding more pasta, thus reducing the proportion of sauce to macaroni.

Amazing! I didn't think you could make Macaroni Cheese without going through the hassle of grating a ton of cheese and making a white sauce. This has been a true revelation and got the thumbs up from my DH and two little daughters. Thanks Normaone - this is now a definite favourite in the family!

"AWESOME"!! I did not measure the cheddar cheese, so I probably added some more (we like it extra cheesy!). I don't think I'll ever eat boxed macaroni and cheese again!! :) Thanks for sharing!
