For a richer flavor, try using a blend of Cheddar and Gruyere cheese. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, comforting note. If you don't have a broiler, you can bake the macaroni and cheese in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Customize this by stirring in cooked bacon, ham, or vegetables such as broccoli or peas.
