I haven't tried this yet, I'm too loyal to Martha's "Perfect mac"--but just had to LOL at all of the snippy comments happening below. Ladies, ladies--simmer down. =)
77chocolateangel - toot your own horn some place else. your husbands "taste" is unknown and questionable!
and to all you little cooks out there - it's ROUX not RUE. it's french, like mirepoix and chiffonade.

This was the greatest Mac and Cheese I've ever had in my life.
Dear Martha Stewart,
Thank you for existing and sharing this glorious recipe with the world.
I'm a better person for eating it!
This was awesome. Ny kids loved it. Easy to make and the blend of cheeses made it rich with taste.
This was really good mac and cheese. The grueyre makes it much more flavorful. I got the cheese at the local grocery store for a much less expensive dinner. The Rue is in the cheese sauce recipe if you click on "Beecher's Flagship Cheese Sauce"
ok. the recipe is missing the rue thing..the butter,flour and milk. i'm sure you can substitute your favorite cheese. $18 for a pound of cheese is ridiculous!! i don't care who or what makes it.
I just came back from Seattle this past weekend and had the opportunity to visit Beecher's. I tried their worlds best mac and cheese. To tell you the truth my husband and I had better. We found it extremely oily and the pasta over cooked. In fact my husband said my mac and cheese is better.

You can buy it...It's $17.95 a pound.
Sounds sinful...
Where in Canada? If you're in Victoria or Vancouver area, when you pop down to Seattle you can pick up his cheese @ Pike Street Market.
Beechers mac
Ladies, click on Beechers Flagship Cheese sauce in ingredients list above and you'll get the recipe to make at home. Can't buy it.
Is Flagship Cheese a brand as Kraft is a brand? If so would it be old aka sharp? I live in Canada and have never heard of Flagship Cheese.
I work in the market and have the pleasure of having this mac and cheese once in a while. It's decadent and WONDERFUL! Beechers is amazing! They have spicy and regular and I get half and half, it's amazing. if you're around you MUST try it out!
where can i get this cheese from
