Then this is what you are looking for! This is, in my humble opinion, the ultimate comfort food and definitely the Ultimate Mac & Cheese! 12 Tbsp unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks) 3 cups white crusty bread, cut into 1/4 inch pieces 4 cups half & half 1 cup milk 1/2 cup flour 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes 1 tsp. garlic powder (or granulated garlic) 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 2 cups Tillamook Vintage White Cheddar Cheese, shredded 2 cups Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded 2 cups gruyere cheese, shredded (or other Swiss) 1 1/4 cups Romano cheese, shredded 1 pound large macaroni with grooves Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and set aside a 9x13 casserole dish. Combine bread cubes (or crumbs) with 4 Tbsp melted butter and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Set aside. Melt 6 Tbsp butter in large saucepan. Add flour and cook and whisk for a minute or two. Slowly add milk, half & half and 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and nutmeg. Continue cooking and whisking until mixture bubbles and becomes thick. Remove pan from heat and stir in 2 cups sharp cheddar, 1 cup vintage white cheddar, 1 cup Swiss cheese and 1 cup Romano; set cheese sauce aside. Blend the remaining cheese together. Cook macaroni in a large pan of boiling water 2-3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions. Drain well and rince under cold running water. Add salt and pepper to taste and 2 Tbsp butter. Stir cheese sauce into the macaroni. Pour mixture into a 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and buttered bread crumbs. Bake until browned on top.....about 30-40 minutes.

I can relate to how you feel! I'm fighting the same thing. He had a heart attack in Jan. and won't try different things. He hates vegetables. Once in a while he'll eat a little corn that's it. His idea of a balanced meal is anything with lots of sugar. One thing our cardiologist told us was stay far away from ANY kind of red meat (lean or not) and limit the fat to 10 to 20mg. daily. So that leaves fish and chicken and how many ways can you fix that. He's also a steak and potato man so there's another problem. He hates anything with tomato and also won't eat fruit. Maybe there's a little place in heaven for wives like us who are trying so hard to hang onto our hubby's just a little longer,huh? Don't give up. Just keep trying to fix small amounts of different things so you won't feel too bad when you have to throw it out or eat it yourself and maybe one day our hard headed husbands will wake up and realize that we CARE. Library has lots of things also. Wish I could be more help but it may help to know you are NOT alone. Thanks for letting me vent my frustration and good luck to you.
