Yummy - but I changed the Gruyere to Buffalo Wing cheese. My congregation loves it. I use brown rice fusilli, 3 cups raw milk, organic cornstarch, omit the bread crumbs, and cook it on low in a crockpot for 2-3 hours.
It was just my daughter and I so we halved this recipe. I had 8oz of Gruyere to use so this was a great find. I didn't have sharp so we used cheddar jack instead, along with tri-shaped pasta. It was SO GOOD. And incredibly rich. We had a chicken breast on the side and we thought we could cook and shred and combine it right in with the recipe. Maybe next time!
Good mac & cheese recipe, although the gruyere cheese is a little expensive. I ended up using a slightly cheaper version that was apple smoked, and it gave it a funny taste, so I wouldn't recommend that. Might try this again but experiment with different cheeses.
I have been looking for a macaroni and cheese that is creamy and cheesy, and this is it. Most of the family enjoyed the crunch of the panko breadcrumbs, but my one youngest daughter did not. We'll definitely make again.
We made this recipe this week, for our back-to-school dinner. We enjoyed, but the panko breadcrumb topping was a little thick and too crunchy for us. I know plenty of folks who love a good crunch-tastic baked macaroni though, so i am betting this would be a big hit with them! Enjoyed the cheesiness of the dish. :)
