Chef John's Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Reviews - Allrecipes.com (Pg. 5)

This recipe is the closest to my aunt's legendary recipe (that she refuses to share) that I have found yet. Followed it to the letter, used 3 parts (F&E) sharp cheddar to 1 part Kerrygold Reserve cheddar. My wife is super-sensitive to thyme, and she didn't detect it. I agree that it must be the difference of using dried versus ground (I used dried as specified). This is my go-to baked mac-n-cheese now. Awesome!

We have tried several mac and cheese recipes from this site and this one is the best. It is a perfect texture, smooth and creamy. Everything you want in cheese sauce.

I made this for a crowd and it was a hit! I've since cut it down to use as a side for dinner as well. Rather than make the crust, I skipped the baking and put it in to homemade bread bowls. It was awesome!

Great recipe! I followed Chef John's suggestion for semi-cheesy mac and used 12 oz. of macaroni. It is still INCREDIBLY cheezy, and I may go up to the 16 oz. next time. I used old/sharp cheddar and gruyere, and it came out beautifully. I can't wait to have more for lunch today!

This is the first time I've tried making homemade Mac and Cheese. I followed this recipe to a T and sadly, I was disappointed. I had a 500g box of macaroni and when I converted it to ounces it was 17 point something ounces so I took a chance and used the whole thing. There was a lot of sauce when I poured it over the pasta, I was a little worried it would be soupy when it came out of the oven. It was surprisingly dry. I was amazed at how much it soaked into the pasta. The flavor was not very cheesy and I even made sure to buy sharp cheddar as it is not something I would typically have on hand. My first mistake was using the whole box of macaroni. I think I would follow other reviewers suggestions of only using 12 oz of pasta and increase the amount of cheese if I was ever to make this again. I was excited about the topping but I think it would be better if there was more sauce. Also, I used ground thyme and I really didn't notice the taste at all. I think I will keep searching for a mac and cheese recipe.

Great recipe to build from, but I did a few things different. I used rigatoni vs. elbow mac. Instead of 3 cups of cheddar I did 2 chedder and 1 havarti to give it a little zing. I also substituted the panko bread crumbs with crushed corn flakes and instead of going with more cheddar I topped it with fresh grated parmesan. Turned out amazing!
