My recipe is bomb!! I use 4 cups of sharp cheddar, 1 cup of mozzarella, and 1 cup of gouda. I use 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2 1/2 cups of half and half.

I've tried several recipes but always come back to this one. My secret ingredient is I add 1/8 tsp of nutmeg. Also, once it's done baking I put it under the broiler for a few minutes to make the top a bit crusty. You're welcome.

I use 1:1:1 8 oz cheddar, mozzarella, and swiss (although for the kids I usually don't use as much swiss) and around 4 cups of milk, so similar to yours. I use a bit of mustard instead of nutmeg.

And I don't prefer mac and cheese with a roux so I use 2-3 eggs instead.

I’m the person you quoted; yours sounds yummy too. I might try adding some Swiss the next time I make mine.

PP here. Now I'm ready for some homemade Mac and cheese. Thanks, PPs!

This sounds disgusting and unhealthy

I think that person is trolling. I don't know what that is, but it's not mac and cheese.

But also, mac and cheese is a pretty unhealthy dish.

I use healthy pasta (gluten free usually banza), and make the roux from scratch using organic ingredients. Sometimes I add roasted butternut squash puree to hide vegetables in it. It's delicious and to me that seems healthy.

Sounds great but this is not a traditional mac and cheese.
