My neighbor John Liu has become famous in our town for his mac `n cheese.
Loaded with gruyere and cheddar, this is a comforting, cheesy bomb of goodness topped with crushed Ruffles.
Yeah, he went there. Forget butter bread crumbs. Ruffles rule.
Let’s let him show us how to make it…
First, he makes a roux with butter and flour.
Stir the milk into the roux.
Stir in the seasonings.
Stir in the cheeses -- gruyere and cheddar!
Stir in the cooked elbow macaroni, and portion it into the baking dishes. Pop into the oven.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, crush the Ruffles by hand, and sprinkle in the Parmesan.
With about 10 minutes to go in the oven, sprinkle the potato chips onto the mac `n cheese.
Use all of the parmesan-y potato chips.
Once the chips are on top, watch for browning after about 10 minutes.
Browned and out of the oven!

John Liu gets to sample his mac `n cheese.
Want to make this delicious mac `n cheese? It’s easy. You can get the recipe over on Malibu Patch in my column today.
Welcome to my kitchen, where the oven is always on, and the fridge is packed with delectables! 
Oh wow – potato chips?! Thanks again for linking up to my blog hop! Pinned
Wow, what is up with your neighborhood and all their goodies.. mmmmm! My new goal is to make enough money to move into your neck of the woods. For now, guess I’ll have to just try and stalk you all, so if you see a shadowy figure at the end of your driveway wandering back and forth clutching a spoon, don’t shoot; just toss your leftovers in my direction and I’ll duke it out with the raccoons.
Suebaby,
Yes, we are blessed with some gifted cooks here in the ‘hood!
I like the roux method too. There is some controversy though…q GREG
Great post! I love mac & cheese but have never been able to make a nice one myself. I’ll follow these steps next time and I bet it will be delicious
