Steakhouse Mac and Cheese image

Cheesy goodness... true comfort food. I updated this recipe based on the review. The cheese sauce is cheesier and there is more of it. This time when I made it, I used 1/2 cup of gorgonzola, but the taste was a little too sharp for my liking. I also added in some garlic powder. Please let me know how the current measurements work out.

This mac and cheese was a little too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese.

Not my favorite mac and cheese recipe. The cheese sauce was too thick and the pasta was too soft. I won't be making this again.

This mac and cheese was just okay. The cheese sauce was a little bland and the pasta was overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.
