The cheese turned out very gritty and chucky after baking in the oven. Too much salt and nutmeg was too strong. Don't waste your time.

I have tried several different recipes for mac & cheese and I have always come back to this one. I serve this at all of my office and home parties and everyone cleans it up! There are never any leftovers. Extremely creamy cheese sauce. The different types of cheese really makes this mac and cheese the absolute best.
