Grown up mac and cheese

GRsweetpea

Jim has been not so subtle with his hints that he'd like to test out some home made mac and cheese that wasn't just cheddar.

Do you guys have a go-to recipe?

Wow, I haven't made mac and cheese in forever! 

I haven't made this recipe yet, but I have it saved:

This one's actually called "Grown Up Mac and Cheese"

Ina Garten's original Mac and Cheese is delicious! I've never tried her "grown up" version that Wop posted, but I'm sure it's great as well. I've never made anything of hers that wasn't amazing.

I used to make one called "Company Mac & Cheese" that had a variety of cheeses and spicy mustard in it. My mom adores it, and actually made several batches for my sister's baby shower years ago.

Well, when I made deep fried mac and cheese, I used this recipe:

In my pre-deep frying/freezing taste testing I discovered that the mac & cheese was amazingly delicious.  I think because of the smoked gouda.  To adapt, I would cook it as instructed up until the forming into balls and freezing part.  And then I would top it with some bread crumbs and cheese and pop it in the oven for a bit to get a yummy crusty top.  And then I would eat it.  And then I would be happy forever.

Thanks, guys.  I'll be taking a look at these and trying one out.  I'll post a result soon.

Oh my! That looks wonderful!  I think I am going to make that tomorrow, thank you.
