How to Make No Boil Macaroni And Cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In the prepared baking dish, combine the uncooked elbow macaroni, butter, flour, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Stir until well combined. The mixture will be slightly lumpy.
Add the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the macaroni mixture.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The top should be golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
