Macaroni and Gouda Cheese Casserole

We love trying different mac and cheese recipes. This one was delicious. We loved the gouda cheese in this one. The parm, cracker, panko bottom and top (especially the crunchy cheesy top) was a nice addition. Son in law ate the Ritz we were saving for this one (we forgot to mention it to him) so we ran to the nearest store to my daughters where we made the casserole. Since they didn't have any Ritz type crackers my son picked up some cheese it crackers a small bag of spicy ones and a small bag of original. My daughter used all of the original and about a third of the spicy to make the 4 ounces needed. The heavy cream makes this one a bit caloric and not one I'd make often but it was very good. I would like to try again though to see how it is with the Ritz.
