Martha Stewart’s Macaroni and Cheese

Cook 1 lb. Macaroni (I used a little more than 1 lb.)
Melt 2 Tbsp butter
6 slices white bread torn into pieces. Toss the butter and bread together and set aside.
Melt 6 Tbsp butter
Stir in ½ cup flour
Bring 5 ½ cup milk to a boil.
Stir in the butter and flour mixture with a wire whisk until thickens
Add:
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp black pepper
Add 3 cups grated cheese
Add macaroni to the cheese mixture
Pour into a dish and sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese and bread mixture.
Bake in oven at 375 for 45 minutes or until warm. (I just stuck it in the oven and melted the cheese)

*** I didn’t add as much cayenne as called for and added some garlic and onion powder.
I use a mixture of cheese like cheddar and mozzarella or Colby jack and use the fresh grated parmesan cheese for on top that you buy (not the kind in the green container from Kraft). I also just took some seasoned croutons and smashed them up in a baggie and placed on top of the macaroni instead of the bread and butter mixture.
