What are you doing New Year's? We are staying in and grilling out filets. We are also having this mac and cheese. We had this for Christmas Eve and I L♥VED it! It rivals the Gnocchi Mac & Cheese I made earlier this year. The recipe is from Chef Michael Symon. He created the recipe for the official Wisconsin cheese website. There are 12 Michael Symon recipe creations on the site (so far). I believe this is the first of many that I will be trying.
This is extremely simple to make. Nobody would guess that that it is a quick stovetop mac and cheese - I love that! You really should splurge on the gruyere, it really makes this mac and cheese special.

We're staying in and making my traditional Osso Bucco. I can't imagine anyone on the face of this earth not eating this like a starved wild animal. Looks wonderful. Happy New Year.
Yummy! This looks hearty and delicious :)
With bacon, Gruyere and heavy cream how could it not be good? Yum! Have a delicious New Year!
Geez Steph! How am I going to lose my 10 pounds if you keep posting mouthwatering recipes like this? Mac and Cheese however it's made is my favorite, afterall. I especially love it with Truffle oil! And I think this one would be a good match with truffle oil!
Wow, you've really kicked mac n' cheese up a notch, or two! Delicious! Happy New Year!
