Then we up the decadence by also adding a fair amount of butter and some half and half to the recipe. The combination of extra sharp cheddar and Gruyere makes the best macaroni and cheese! Sure it’s pricey to buy the imported Gruyere cheese but it’s worth it. You just can’t go wrong with an extra saucy, classic side dish like this.
This is my family’s favorite macaroni and cheese! I’ve made it several times at holidays and it’s usually the top thing that gets the most compliments and repeat requests. It’s one of the ultimate side dish recipes! Baked Mac and Cheese – it’s amazingly cheesy, deliciously comforting and perfect for holidays and weekends! Macaroni noodles are cooked to al dente then tossed with a luxuriously creamy cheddar and gruyere sauce, then topped with crispy toasted panko and oven baked.
