Well, the Millennials have discovered Mac and Cheese and now I'm reading all of their takes on this classic dish. There's tons of recipes online claiming to be the "BEST." Sigh...it's overwhelming! I just made a batch with my own recipe and it's in the oven baking right now. I thought I'd ask everyone what their "secret ingredient" is for their family recipe. Here are a couple of mine:

Use Extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Swap out half the regular milk for buttermilk
Make the dish very saucy, so that the pasta doesn't get dry after baking.
Add a dash of hot sauce to the white sauce.
Make a crunchy topping with Panko dotted with butter.
