For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce. You can also customize this recipe by adding cooked bacon, ham, or vegetables such as broccoli or peas. For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheddar cheese and Gruyere or fontina. To bake the mac and cheese, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
