Rachel's Fancy Macaroni and Cheese image

A twist on the classic. Swiss cheese gives it a bite and mozzarella gives it stretchy, gooey, creaminess that is irresistible. A friend of mine who is a macaroni and cheese connoisseur made this for me and I had craved it since! The other day I finally made it myself and, wow! It was every bit as good as I remembered. I asked my husband if he ate the rest of the leftovers (I had wanted them) and this is what he said : "yes. :( It was so good and it doesn't kill me to say it- make that again" LOL-he is the pickiest man I have EVER met and he liked it, so give this a try!
