When Michael and I were just friends, he used to brag about this amazing<\/strong> Mac n’ Cheese recipe that he made when he was trying to impress a lady. I scoffed at it because while mac n’ cheese is pretty amazing, I couldn’t imagine it would make me fall for a guy because it was so good. \ud83d\ude09 When we started dating he made it for me. Michael is kind of a goof and tries to offend as many people as possible (hence the name of the Mac n’ Cheese). Lucky for him it takes a lot to offend me!<\/p>\n

\nIn an effort of keep this post PG-13 Rated, I won’t talk about my panties but I WILL say that I was convinced. The Mac n’ Cheese is literally to die for. Whenever we make it for friends or family they moan in bliss with every bite.<\/p>\n

\nI think one thing that makes this recipe so dang delicious is the Gruyere cheese. I hate to admit it, but I was strictly a Blue Box Girl for years. Especially in my single days! I wasn’t really adventurous when it came to cooking, or trying new recipes. But dang, Martha knows her stuff!<\/p>\n

Sunday night when we got home from Hood River and were done with house chores, Michael made the dish. It had been months since we made it. I opened a new bottle of Chardonnay that we got this weekend.<\/p>\n

\nThe only thing we’ve done differently with this perfected recipe is adding sliced bratwursts to it. We don’t always add sausage to it, but it is a delicious addition and I was extra hungry after our bike ride. I bought the spicy bratwursts this time and it made the mac n’ cheese extra spicy.<\/p>\n

\nBe Warned:<\/strong><\/em> This recipe is NOT diet friendly. But it’s a nice splurge a few times a year. We make it probably 3 or 4 times a year–usually in the winter time or for potlucks (and family parties). According to the Recipe Analyzer<\/a>, this recipe is around 600 calories a serving.<\/p>\n

\nSunday night Michael made a half batch (thank goodness!) so 6 servings instead of 12.<\/p>\n
