I will try this again; however, because I added some flour as was suggested by a reviewer, it was very dense - not creamy at all. Next time I will not use flour, and possibly will use fewer eggs as another suggested? I love buttermilk, so I want this to be my go-to recipe for mac 'n cheese!

I love this recipe, but I made some major modifications to it. I'd never used more than 1 egg in any mac and cheese recipe before and the macaroni/egg ratio seemed low so I doubled the macaroni. Also, I love caramelized onions in mac and cheese along with panko bread crumbs so I added both. I also cut out a quarter the amount of butter and voila! Best ever!

I agree that this is a custard-like recipe. However, it has great flavor if you use a nice sharp cheddar cheese.

easy to make, more like a custard/souffle than traditional mac 'n' cheese. very rich so a little goes a long way.

I grew up on baked mac-n-cheese, so when I ran across this recipe I was excited. It did not disappoint.

This had the texture of and tasted more like an egg casserole. I even increased the amount of macaroni. It was spongy, not creamy. I would not make this recipe again.
