This was a simple mac and cheese dish that had a very nice presentation. For our tastes, I think the emmenthaler seemed a little over powering, but the dish as a whole was very moist and creamy as described. I would make this again, but probably not with the swiss cheese. Thanks Queen for the chance to try another version of a down-home classic.Reply
