Panko is flaked bread crumbs, usually found in Japanese markets or the import section of a grocery store. Ordinary bread crumbs can be substituted, but the texture is different.
The mac and cheese recipe serves 18 if you consider this a side dish and a half cup as a single serving. If the mac and cheese will be the center of your meal, then this is closer to 6 servings (at a cup and a half per person). Except for the bay leaves (you'll still need two), it can easily be cut in half.
Add some ham or chicken into the mac and cheese and all you need is a side salad or a green vegetable to have a full meal.
