Well, I did change things a little, which I don't like reading in reviews, but here you go: I used beef stew meat, olive oil, diced tomatoes and added italian seasoning since I didn't have the italian-style stewed--whoops, I added a little bit of garlic pepper, but I doubt enough to make a difference...I also added maybe 1/4 c red wine and more salt and pepper. The second 45 min. I kept the stew at med. heat since things weren't softening quick enough. At the end I added maybe 1.5 T cornstarch to thicken and brought to a boil again. Yum, but then again, I love beef stew!

My family really liked it! Though, I have to say that I did end up adding extra ingredients. I reduced the honey a bit b/c I got lazy and didn't feel like squeezing out 1/4 C and I added maybe 2-3 T of soy sauce and a few shakes of cayenne. My toddler loved it too!

I added the eggs and wish that I hadn't. I ended up with dry mac with globby cheese, not creamy in the slightest. I followed one reviewers suggestion of melting the cheese, butter, and cream together and I think it helped, but then egg (even tempered) still made it globby during baking. I'd say leave out the egg and bake it for much less time--15 min or so. The taste was great though as far as mix of cheese goes.
