This was good Mac and Cheese. My girls ate it right up. I really like my mac and cheese to be a creamier though. This was very cheesy,but a stringy cheesy and I would have left out some of the butter had I known it was going to be so rich. It did have a good taste. Be sure to use the sharp cheddar. It really adds a zing.

First let me just start off by saying I am the EXPERT when it comes to mac n cheese! I've had it all and I know a great recipe when I see one! I made this last night. I did change a few things up though- I boiled my pasta in salted water. I omitted the mild cheddar and vevetta cheese. I've had enough velvetta mac and cheese and this recipe was too good to mess it up with that. Here are the cheeses I did use: Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar, Muenster, Gouda, Monterey jack, and cream cheese. And I did NOT by any means, use half a cup of each cheese!! I used more like 2 cups each, LOL! I only used half a brick of the cream cheese. These cheeses worked so well together and tasted heavenly. I used about 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of milk. The end product was anything but dry! I also added some regular salt along with the season salt. This was absolutely perfection. It's definitely not calorie/fat friendly, but if you're making it for a family get-together, no body will ask for the nutrition facts before tasting it! They'll only be asking for the recipe, trust me!! My version was also great warmed up the next day. I've discovered a dangerous secret and i'm sharing it with all of you mac and cheese lovers! Enjoy!!!!
