Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I’ve made this about 20 times and each time it’s a hit. I use cheeses as written for adult crowd and cheddar/jack for kids.

    I made half a recipe for four adults and a toddler as a birthday dinner side dish. As others have noted, it’s very rich and cheesy. For me, it was a bit too rich and cheesy. I’m not a fan of bread cubes over Mac and cheese but other family members loved it, so I’m glad I didn’t leave that out. If I make this again just for my husband and me, I’ll leave the topping off and try it with 2% milk.

    This makes an excellent classic macaroni and cheese, and as amraub says, it makes a whole lot of it. I liked the chunkier bread topping, which added great crunch. It's a little too much sauce for my family's taste, so I would decrease that next time, maybe by about a quarter. The extra sauce could easily be used to top cauliflower or broccoli.

    This mac and cheese, requested by my vegetarian son, was the star of Thanksgiving. It was the dish that everybody wanted seconds of. Very good. Having seen what it is in it, however, I doubt we will be eating this frequently. It's a delicious, decadent treat!

    I am a macaroni and cheese fiend and this is one of my favorite recipes! I too sometimes add bacon and caramelized onions.

    Incredibly cheesy and makes a huge amount. For an even more over the top meal, use this as the filling for Dessert for Breakfast's macaroni pie.

    One word: cheesy. Too cheesy, maybe. But still delicious. I added some bacon as well (and felt a little bit like Paula Deen). A bit more pasta and slightly reducing the amount of cheese in the sauce would make it a bit less heart-stopping, but still delicious. A half-recipe made plenty for my two-person household.
