Made this dish for Xmas. My hubby loves Mac & Cheese.I went strictly by the recipe and the dish tasted more like flour. I will make this again but use 1/4 teaspoon of flour instead of 1/4 cup. I believe that it could be delious.

This was a great recipe. Everyone loved it. The only thing that I did differently was I crushsed some garlic and herb flavored croutons to mix with the butter for the topping because I didn't have any crackers! Delish!!
