Mac and cheese failure

Another mac and cheese attempt. THis one was quite bad. I don't know if it was me or the recipe. This one emphasized aged gouda and edam, and lots of it.  The cheeses didn't have much taste once I cooked the mac and cheese.  You layer the mac and cheese with swiss chard which I thought might be a good use of this common CSA veggie, but it didn't really work. It just got in way of the texture.  Overall, I wouldn't make this again. (From bon appetit, may 09)
