Ingredients

1 lb large elbow macaroni

1 lb shredded mild cheddar

1 lb shredded Gruyere

1 lb shredded Parmesan

3 cups whole milk

6 T unsalted butter

6 T AP flour

1 T dry mustard powder

1 t ground nutmeg

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cook noodles according to package, removing from heat just before they're al dente.

Add butter to sauce pan over medium heat and melt, stir in flour.

Add mustard and nutmeg and stir quickly.

Add milk and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.

Add 2/3 cheddar, all the Gruyere, and 1/2 the Parmesan in batches until it's all melted in.

Eyeball it, you may want more milk the thin it out. Remember, more liquid will be absorbed by the macaroni in the oven.

Pour the sauce over the noodles in a 9x13 baking dish (I use Pyrex). Mix it well.

Spread remaining cheddar and Parmesan over the top of the casserole and put in the oven for 30-45 minutes. I know that's a wide range. But here's my tip on this...Open the oven and look. When the mac is bubbly and the cheese is how you want it on top, it's done.

That's some rich mac and cheese! Hey, my philosophy is that if you're going to do it, you might as well do it right.

I made this last night. It was excellent. I didn't have nutmeg or mustard powder so substituted seasoned salt, oregano and red chilli pepper. It was amazing. Thanks for the post.
