I doubled this and served it at my Super Bowl party and it went down very well. I loved the taste of it and it was very easy to make. I was even able to find monterey jack in the UK (very rare) and so I did it exactly as mentioned. They have already asked me to make it again for the Oscars party at the end of the month.

This is good. It is not great...but it is good...it is definitely different. I will make this again...it was a bit bland...that's why its good in a weird way... May it...and you'll see what I mean

Good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written except that I doubled it for my family. I never have put mustard or worcestershire sauce in my mac and cheese. It was different but good. Made for Fall PAC 2009.

This is the first baked one I've made, and it turned out great. Was good as leftovers as well. Thanks for posting.

I made this on 4/24/08 as part as mine and SO's dinner. I was reading through the recipe and thought "Worcestershire sauce in mac and cheese ?" So I gave it a try and boy I'm glad I did. Most recipes are either too dry or too creamy,but not this one.I really enjoyed the addition of the ground mustard and worcertershire sauce. If your looking for a macaroni and cheese that's a little bit on the fancy side,and still has the "comfort food' factor this is it.This will be made again.Thank you for posting and "Keep Smiling :)"
