No worries!  Like I said, Jeff is a great guy!  If you like using cast iron, you definitely need to follow him on Instagram and Facebook.  He is the Cast Iron Whisperer!!!

Bookmarked, thanks!  And now I'm following Jeff on twitter.  Thanks for the heads up.

If only using 1# pasta, do you halve the rest of the ingredients?  1 vs. 2 pounds of pasta is a very large variation...

Thanks Dave, I will have to try this and I have been wanting a new Ceramic coated CI pot.

Does his video show how to properly make a 5 cheese blend?

On a serious note, you should use a block of smoked sharp cheddar sometime. My wife won't eat mac&cheese without some smoked cheddar since I first tried that many moons ago.

mac-n-5-cheese w/homemade bacon.

I'm trying to get him to get an egg. I'll try to smoke some cheddar to try. Bacon seems to be a natural additive.

YES, bacon and/or prosciutto bits, and no paprika clumps are mandatory. lol

So what is it... !# of pasta, or is it 2#??

Focker

That is, quite the range.

Not a bad rip by the CF, but I prefer my mac n cheese like my rubs, clump free and cohesive, with a bechamel.

Sounds good, but it also sounds more like a cheese lasagna than mac-n-cheese.  (layers of noodles/cheese).

That's 3+ lbs of cheese for 1lb of mac?? I'm gonna pass.

You wouldn't be passing much for several days eating that much cheese!!

I made this tonight. It was delicious. I used 1 pound of pasta and about half to 2/3 of the cheese. Everyone thought it was amazing. It was not creamy but I would make again. Thanks for the recommendation.

Glad you liked it!
