I loved this combination of cheeses and the smoky flavor from the smoked paprika. It was very quick and easy to make as well. It's not your typical kid's mac and cheese. I popped mine in the oven for just a bit to slightly brown the top. Yummy! Thanx!

I made this recipe last night when I was in need of a dinner that could be made quickly with minimal prep. This certainly was easy and came together fast. We found this to be way too rich for us and we didn't love the flavor combinations even though I like all of the ingredients individually. Sorry it did not work out for us.
