This is by far the best recipe I have ever come across for Mac&Cheese. (I have tried many!)

Made this today and added chunks of peppercorn bacon (about 12 oz.), also used some bacon grease in making the roux. Will report back with results.

The bacon grease made the whole dish just a little too greasy, definitely sticking with just butter from here on. Also made this again using extra sharp cheddar and pepper jack instead of colby, which really robustified the flavor.

I have celiac and made this with banza cavatappi and GF flour and it was still sooo delicious! Best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had even pre celiac lol

Made this tonight! It was awesome. Question though, the mozzarella wasn’t completely melting. Do you use part skim or whole milk mozzarella? I’m suspecting the part skim was to blame.

how much does this recipe make for?

12? Made this for Thanksgiving (along with turkey, many sides and appetizers), and it was luscious, very filling. Very filling.

If I am making it the day before, do I prepare everything and layer it in the dish, then cover and refrigerate until I am ready to bake the next day? Or do I wait to layer it until I am about to bake it the day of?

I’m wondering the same 😩

I made it last night, layered it, and covered it in the fridge. I’m baking it this evening so I’ll let you know how it turns out!

Amazing!!!! Looking forward to hearing about it! Thank you!

It was great!! I will say maybe bake it for 30-35 minutes before broiling. It took a little bit longer to heat up since it was in the refrigerator for 24 hours!

I use salted butter for cooking unsalted for baking.

unsalted butter is always better to avoid making it super salty!

Would i be able to prep this completely the night before, put it in the fridge, and bake right before serving the next day? Would i need to change anything?

Cook the pasta 7 minutes instead of 8 if making the night before.
