    I adopted my mother-in-laws easy Mac n cheese recipe. I just layer elbows, shredded cheese, dots of butter, & S&P (twice) in a casserole dish. Then I pour about a half cup milk in & bake at 350 for 30 min. We love it this way, but I’m tempted to try yours.

      The sour cream doesn't curdle when you bake the casserole? I remember my dad making some sort of baked ham casserole with sour cream in it and it always curdled. I hated that texture so I've just never tried it myself. Hmm 🤔interesting. Maybe it was a temperature thing?

The only thing is I don’t know how much of the gruyere cheese to use because it’s so rich. I know it’s less than the cheddar. This recipe looks SO RICH & DELICIOUS, YUM YUM!!!!! I can’t wait to make it😊

      Sounds great. I like to microplane 1T of onion when making the roux because I like the flavor but not the chunks. A pinch of cayenne is good too. A Mexican friend of mine adds jalapeño, some homemade salsa, or pico de gallo for her family. That's the great thing about M&C....you can customize it. 😊

    Add evaporated milk to the rue, so when you bake it, it doesn’t come up dry. It was creamy at pot, and the cream “evaporated” when you spooned it. You need to add a can to “maintain” the creamy ness from the pot. Trust me ;)

Just respond to my comment. I will certainly take the opportunity to share my whole new level of Mac &cheese cooking method with a beautiful creamy and fluffy and light in your digestion. Make your stomach Easy to metabolise it . Without lumpy and heavy flour or any kind of starch.Period.
