This macaroni and cheese recipe is the perfect blend of creamy and cheesy goodness. The Gruyere and sharp Cheddar give it depth of flavor, while the breadcrumbs on top provide a wonderful crispy contrast.

ingredients
1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs or extra cheese for topping
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the pasta as directed on the package. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Add the butter to a large saucepan over low heat. When melted, stir in the flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and nutmeg. Mix well. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Remove the pan from the heat. While stirring, slowly add the milk.
Return the pan to the heat, increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil, while stirring, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the Gruyere and Cheddar. Continue to stir until the cheese has melted.
Add the macaroni to the cheese sauce and gently stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to an ungreased baking dish. Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs or cheese. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the topping is browned and the macaroni and cheese is bubbly.
