Ingredients

3 cups whole milk, divided

2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and drained

Preparation

01Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line regular muffin tin with muffin tin liners.

02In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of milk to flour, whisking constantly to get out lumps. Add the remaining milk, stirring thoroughly. Turn on heat and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.

03Add 1 cup cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; stir until blended. Add macaroni, mixing gently.

04Fill the 12 muffin cups with the macaroni mixture. Top each with remaining ½ cup cheddar. Bake approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
