For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce. To prevent the macaroni and cheese from drying out during baking, cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes and then remove the foil for the remaining baking time. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese to create your own signature mac and cheese blend. Fontina, Gouda, or Monterey Jack would all be delicious additions.
