Awesome! Do mix the topping to spread the cayenne evenly, or just add it to the sauce.

This was delicious! We needed to use up some gouda and this was perfect. I didn't find it too heavy for a homemade Mac and cheese like some others did. We added about a pound of crab the second time around and it was amazing!

I usually use more cheese to suit our tastes and use varied cheeses but the smoked gouda makes it perfect. Great with BBQ

Every time I make this recipe it keeps getting better and better. As a stand alone recipe it is surely five stars, but of course tweaking the recipe to meet your tastebuds can make this recipe an easy six...oh wait...can't do 6, although it is in my mind. As a minor adjustment I add a bit of liquid smoke because I like the smokey flavor. I also mix in heavy cream to thicken it up and give it additional richness (not that it needs it---just decadent).

It was worth trying once but I thought this was exceptionally average.

I wish I had remembered the note in the reviews to use half the cayenne. I forgot and used a whole teaspoon. Way, way too much! I think for next time I would leave it out completely. Otherwise this is a relatively easy dish to make.....and it makes a lot! Our family of three ate it for four days as a main dish. I had all the cheeses on hand, but I do think it would work with other cheeses. The smoked Gouda does leave a nice smoky taste. Overall a really great twist on mac and cheese and a definite keeper for us. Thanks for the recipe!

I LOVED this mac and cheese! so simple and the taste is wonderful. I made this for a neighborhood party and it was the hit of the party. I used everything but the swiss cheese because I didn't have it in the house. I also used more bread crumbs to cover the top. And I added bacon to the mixture. Thanks for the recipe! I will def. be making this again

Very good, smoked gouda is one of our favorites. Dish is a little heavy, but extremely tasty.
