Awhile ago I was looking for a good, homemade Macaroni & Cheese recipe and found this one from the Pioneer Woman. I had tried a cheese muffin recipe of hers a couple of years back and LOVED it, and have had several people send on recipes from her that I hadn't gotten around to trying and so I was excited to try this one. And I was honestly a little disappointed. This recipe was good, we all ate it, but it wasn't as "wow" as I was hoping for. The mustard was definitely detectable, and was a little overwhelming. I think that SOME dried mustard is good, but this was too much for me & my family. Especially with the work that went into making it. I might try it again (maybe?), but with less mustard.....or I may just search somewhere else for that perfect "Mac & Cheese" recipe.
Family Rating: ****
My Rating: ***
Cost: $ (probably around $5, depending on your price of dairy)
Difficulty: Moderate - you have to make a roux and then later temper the egg to put into the roux. It isn't bad to do, but it's not just chucking stuff into the pot. It takes some babysitting.
