Thank you for the most wonderful Mac & Cheese recipe. We loved the creamyness and especially the crunchy topping. Can't wait to try it again. Maybe adding a little smoked Chedder or Gouda.

I love macaroni and cheese that calls for eggs. It makes it so light and custardy. I omitted the onions and the bay leaf. I used Ritz crackers for the top and used half and half along with whole milk and added some colby cheese along with the sharp cheddar. It calls for only 3 TB of flour with 3 cups of liquid which I thought would not be enough flour because it was awlfully runny but after it baked in the oven for 30 minutes it came out perfect. This is a keeper!

YUMMDILLYLICIOUS! Was about to make broccoli cheese casserole for a church supper and caught the episode that featured this recipe and changed my mind. Everyone loved this. I made it the night before up 'til the baking part. I just added about 20 minutes bake time as I got ready for church. The only thing different I would do is perhaps add about 1 tsp. extra mustard and perhaps use x-tra sharp cheese. But truly that is a personal taste change. DH and everyone that tried it at church loved it.

This is a fabulous macaroni and cheese recipe. I followed the recipe exactly. You will dirty alot of dishes and utensils but you'll forget about all of that when you taste the end result. Excellent instructions.
