yum! I served the onions and tomatoes on the side because the kids prefered just the mac and cheese. DH and I thought these was a nice change from the usual mac and cheese. Thanks Uncle Bill :)

Well, as Bev said, rich and creamy. With the addition of tomatos, it gives it a different than usual taste, didn't have any tabasco sauce around, so I just left it out, I added a bit more swiss cheese, as I only had about 1/4c. left after grating the 1/2c It turned out sooooooooo yummy! I will definatly make this again. Thank you William for a wonderful Mac and cheese recipe.
