Having read the reviews, I made a couple of modifications: swapped nutmeg for smoky paprika (do it!), brown mustard for Dijon (we hate Dijon), added dash of Better than Bullion, and a bit of butter. It was a hit! Easy weeknight meal. Favorite.
0 HelpfulYum! Adult Mac & Cheese is amazing. Now that we have the recipe for cheese sauce from week of 10/28/18, I would love to use it for this recipe.
0 HelpfulVery good! Great "adult" Mac'n'Cheese. Used regular chicken breasts cut up and sautéed first.
0 HelpfulMy 7yo daughter loved this. It was actually quite excellent after I added smoked paprika to mine.
