it came out okay. too peppery and not creamy enough. at work, I've noticed they drop cream in it while they're cooking, so maybe next time I will use cream to bake it with and at the end put the bread crumbs on top so it'll stay extra creamy. creamy.

may I make a suggestion that sounds completely crazy, is healthier, and works amazingly well?

Mix in 1/2 to 1 cup of pureed steamed cauliflower into the mac & cheese during the mixing stage after adding the cheeses.

I swear you can't even taste it (though for myself, I add more because I *do* love the taste of cauliflower), doesn't mess with the texture, and makes the end product come out creamier than any Mac & Cheese I've ever had.
If it says anything, I have 2 of the pickiest eaters this planet has ever seen, and they both absolutely love it.
