I made this for a tailgate. I changed it as I used cream for the rue. It was very thick . I also used some breadcrumbs and smoked cheese for the topping then browned it with the broiler at the end of backing. I also used a mix cheese with cheddar and mozzarella. I think it went over well as it was all gone!

When the family says "make that any time" it's a 5 star recipe. I used very old cheddar (7 years old) and topped it with some bread crumbs mixed with some parmesan. The bacon, garlic and onion added lots of flavour too. Easy and tasty.

Ok but not what I think of when I'm thinking about baked mac and cheese. Too much trouble.

Very good! Trying to be the most efficient (and dirty the least dishes) I made the sauce all in one pan. Use a large pan to cook the bacon, then remove it. Cook the onions and garlic in the bacon grease (why waste that extra bacon flavor?!). Add 1 TBSP of butter to the onions after they have cooked, then add the flour and proceed. With any gravy or roux base, I've found that after adding the milk, stir until it comes to a boil and boil for 1 minute, while still stirring - that usually thickens it up nicely and removes any lumps. Like others, I added salt and pepper and may add other spices next time. But overall it was super yummy and my whole family loved it!

Best Mac and Cheese recipe that I've made to date. I did saute garlic and onion in the bacon fat and added 1/4 tsp dry mustard to the roux. The rest stayed the same.

The fact that my kids think box mac n cheese is the best, they loved this version. I did add more cheese and only used 1/2 of an onion. It came out perfect and its no more box for them.

Just like most almost everyone that has tried this recipe, I had to add a little salt in the sauce. My family loved it.I love that fact that a little goes a long way. The recipe says that it is for 5 servings but I got about 8. I will be making this again soon.

This was good. It's not the cheesiest, it's more like a casserole, and quite heavy for a meal. Still in small portions its good.

I loved this respie. I love when there aren't a lot of ingrediants and it's still delicious. I tweaked it a little. firt off, I used Wondra and added it until it was the consistency I wanted to the butter. Also, I used bacon pieces from Oscar Meyer to it. I skipped the onion, after reading some the reviewsand my own sense told me onion might not be a good idea. Another reviewer wrote that she added saltines melted with butter on the top, loved that idea, too. My family loved it!

While this doesn't knock my socks off every time I ALWAYS get rave reviews from husband and children. I pretty much stick to the recipe but often add peas to it to get some 'green' in there. I also sometimes crumble potato chips on top or seasoned bread crumbs for a bit of crunch.

This recipe is very good, you may need to add a little more bacon as i did for more flavor...yum, the first time you make it, you may feel there isn't as much flavor but then the next time you make it you can add you own little twist to this recipe. My twist was to add more bacon and some cheyenne pepper.

This was amazing. mac and cheese heaven. The only change that I made to the recipe was to use macaroni instead of penne and didn't use any onion or spices. The basic recipe, however was sooooo good. The only thing I would change next time would be to use just a little less bacon. Thanks for the great recipe!

I liked this a lot! I was nervous making it, because many people complained about floury tasting sauce. I added the milk veeeeeery slowly and it turned out great! I didn't use the bacon, but that is just a personal taste thing. My boyfriend liked it, too. :)

After reading the reviews, I too added double the bacon and cooked the onion in a little of the bacon grease. I also substituted 1/2 cup of the milk for whipping cream. I did use cheddar, and I thought it was not bland, but was exactly like restaurant macaroni and cheese. I had been making the joy of cooking version for 10 years, but this is my new standard. I added the milk slowly and had no sauce problems and did not find it floury at all.

Excellent! I read the reviews and only added 1/2 the onion. Also, to jazz up the recipe I used 1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup mild cheddar and 1 cup Dubliner. Instead of bacon, I sprinkled the pasta with breadcrumbs before popping it in the oven. Delicious!
