What is your favorite recipe?

I just tried this one from Chef John from Food Wishes and found it to be quite good (plus very quick and easy).

I'm not sure I have ever eaten M&C in my life.

But....between M&C and chicken nuggets, my 5 grand-kids hardly eat anything else. Their recipe is Kraft.

Inspiring isn't it.

I like Anthony Bourdain's 4-cheese version of Mac n'Cheese. I've tinkered with the cheese variety (smoked cheddars & Gruyere's) but, mainly keep to the same structure, which is always a hit with guests. Adding the ham is a really nice touch.

Pro tip: make a day before hand, let it cool and settle. Reheat, cut and serve, it'll retain its shape better on the plate.

Made this yesterday and it was good. Had leftovers today and I think it was even better.

This has become my new standard way to fix mac&cheese.

Just a caution: If you prefer aged cheddar (as I do), then heat it carefully and don't let it boil after the cheese has been added. There is no roux and the cheese will quickly crack and you'll have an oily mess.

I have two favorites, one easy and cheap and the other is quite detailed and can run rather expensive on the Mac & Cheese side because of all the cheeses but I trot it out when I want to impress someone.
