Way too dry as directed. Cheese choices not ideal. Sour cream or Crème fraîche helps.

Try adding some good seasonings cause that mac n cheese is bland no offense . Also I do agree that it was creamy and also make sure the pasta is cooked thoroughly. Although my family devoured that and left no crumbs.

Took a long time to make and it is a bit bland. But we didn’t hate it. Very creamy. May add bacon next time as suggested on another review.

Turned out great! It was very rich, creamy, and filling. Thinking to add bacon in future!

Was creamy and the topping was crunchy but I still felt like something was missing spice wise.

i've made it two times-- the second time I put Pepper Jack cheese in --in place of the swiss cheese.
It was amazing and there wasn't any left. My guests kept going back for more.

Don't hesitate to add extra salt and pepper at the wnd and maybe more of the other seasonings.

I substituted with almond milk because it's all I had in my fridge. I was pleasantly surprised by the creaminess of it, not too thick. My husband and I enjoyed it. Will def make again!

It was amazing. I did substitute different cheeses due to not having the specific ones, however, it still tasted amazing! I'm very satisfied with it.
