Ruth's Mac 'n Cheese earns 4-star reviews


This recipe for Gramma Claire's Macaroni and Cheese from Utah's Ruth's Diner is getting four- and five-star reviews from cooks all over the country.

Ruth's, which is closed for remodeling and should reopen May 1, is one of several Utah restaurant to have been featured recently on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."

During the episode (which has aired several times in the past few months) host Guy Fieri makes this super cheesy baked dish with Ruth's chef/owner Erik Nelson.

"Absolute BEST Mac & Cheese" wrote one cook from Parma, OH.

"You've got to try this one. It's a "do again" in our home!" added another from Castro Valley, CA.

If you plan to make the recipe, be sure to read the comments. It seems that a few things are missing like the oven temperature (350 degrees for 30 minutes). Go easy on the salt and instead of using all milk for the sauce, use half cream and half milk.
