I nixed the ham, used 12oz of macaroni, used only sharp cheddar cheese, and for the milk I used about 1/3 heavy cream. Smoked chipotle tobasco sauce also made an excellent addition - this was great! I sprinkled a little extra cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking. I'll definitely be serving this to the future in-laws.

This is a good recipe. I only used sharp cheddar cheese and since we don't eat ham at our house i did not include it. I also used 12oz box of macaroni after reading other reviews. I think next time i'll add bread crumbs on top to make it crispier.

I took advice from other reviewers and made some changes. I used a quart of half & half (instead of milk). I added a tsp of ground mustard & tsp of worchesh sauce. I also added some onion. I kept with other ingredients (as well). I used extra sharp cheddar & peppercorn jack. I did not use the mozerella. I lightly brushed top with bread crumbs. Drizzled a little butter and topped with a little extra shredded cheddar. It was an amazing texture. Looked so & smelled so yummy! Unfortunately, it was ruined when I followed baking instructions. I thought 45 mins to an hour sounded a bit much, but followed instructions. What a mistake! I think it baked out the flavor along with the creamy texture. 20 min baking time, more realistic. If you want crunchy on top, broil for about 3 mins after 20 mins of baking. I might try making this again with major baking changes. Oh yeah, after cooking noodles to al dente (about 7 mins) make sure you rinse in luke warm/cold water to prevent further cooking of pasta. That's the secret to all pasta based casseroles!

Wonderful!! I thought this was the best mac n' cheese I've ever made. Even my husband who does not eat usually eat mac and cheese asked when I was going to make it again. I made a few changes in the recipe however. I also uses 12 oz not 8 of noodles. I did not use mozzarella at all but used 7.5 oz of both the Cheddar and Jack (shredded not cubed). I also used milk and 1/2 & 1/2 not just milk, and I added more cayenne pepper. Thank you again Alyson for this wonderful recipe! It's become one of our favorites. ENJOY!!

Better than KD! This is the first recipe I have followed from allrecipies.com, and it turned out very well. I used 7tbsp of flour instead of 10, and 2/3 the milk. Next time I make this, I'll try the recommendation of others to use sharp cheddar. Thanks for the great recipe.

I made this for Thanksgiving and thought I had made too much. I didn't bring any of it home! It was such a hit! I am now in charge of this dish every year.

It doesn't seem like you could screw up mac and cheese, but somehow I did. Granted this is my first time making mac with real cheese; I normally make Velveeta style. This came out very grainy. The flavor was pretty good, but I just couldn't get over the texture. Is it supposed to be like this?? The description does say creamy. Regardless, I am still searching the the ultimate mac and cheese.

My family loved it. My daughter who is very PICKY in what she eats, ate it all up. She said it was the best mac and cheese she had. I would make it again. I thought it had too much of a flour taste and not enough cheesy taste. I think next time not so much flour.

This was terrific macaroni and cheese! Per RUBENETTE'S suggestion, I also left out the ham, used 12 oz macaroni, and added a teaspoon each of ground mustard and worcestershire sauce. I also added some bread crumbs over the top for a nice crispiness. I have now made it twice, once with shredded cheese, and once with cubed cheese, and I like the shredded cheese much better.

I made this once on a whim, and have made it several times since. It's one of our household favorites. I try to make it at least once a month; if I don't, I am sure to be reminded and asked! I omit the ham because I don't eat red meat. Once in while I will add crispy turkey bacon for that meaty flavour. The three cheeses are a nice combination, but I find it tastes excellent with just sharp cheddar and jack cheeses. Depending on my mood, sometimes I alternate chili powder for cayenne. They both work well. Sometimes I dare to use half cream (or half & half) and half milk. Eight bites makes this a meal! Especially excellent in winter. Excellent recipe, Allie! A definite keeper, and permanant addition to my "usuals."

We used half & half instead of milk to make it richer, and didn't use mozzerella at all since so many reviews said that it made it too stringy and didn't add flavor. We did use extra sharp cheddar and a garlic jack cheese - yum! Sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top and you're good to go.

Not enough flavor for me and my children(5,7,&7) didn't care for it. Used wonderful leftover ham, but it didn't make up for lack of flavor.

I made this last night and followed the directions perfectly and was disappointed. I am a cheese lover so I thought the amount of cheese it called for was fine, but upon tasting it, the dish had way too much mozz cheese, after eating a few bites I felt 500lbs. My daughter who is 3 tried it and passed on it.

My adult friends love this and the kids haven't liked it. I add a bit of tabasco to it for a little extra kick and add more sauce to it...

I LOVE this recipe! I remember making mac n cheese from scratch when I was a lot younger and was looking for a recipe that would give me that great taste. This is it!!! I left out the ham, used 12 oz macaroni since there is a lot of sauce, and added a teaspoon each of ground mustard and worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. I also added some melted butter to bread crumbs and crumbled over the top for a nice crispiness. It was sooo GOOD!!! Thanx Allie!!!!
