I've made this recipe several times. It's certainly a favorite of my family! I like the slightly tangy flavor. One strange thing happened the last time I made it but I couldn't figure out what went wrong. The mac and cheese was very bitter and left an awful taste. We were unable to eat it, but usually this recipe works well for me. If anyone knows why this might have happened, I'd appreciate it for future reference.

Good recipe but it needed some tweaking to make it perfect. I added parmesan cheese to the cheddar cheese (about half a cup shredded) and before I put it in to bake I put a sprinkle of nutmeg over the whole dish. Just before I served each plate I added a sprinkle more pepper and nutmeg. It was a huge hit!

My family didn't really go for this one, I'm not sure if it was the worchestershire that gave it the strange taste but next time I will be using less than the 1/4 ts or leaving it out all together if I make it again.
