Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/8 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups grated cheese , preferably cheddar and american
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
2 tbsp melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook macaroni until it is al dente; drain.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan; add the flour and cook, stirring constantly over low heat 2-3 minutes.
Add the milk gradually, mixing the ingredients to incorporate the flour mixture and make a smooth sauce.
Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
While still stirring, add the cheese and continue to cook 4-5 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Pour the sauce over cooked macaroni and mix them thoroughly.
Pour this mixture into a buttered baking dish.
Combine rice krispies and 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle this over the cheese-coated macaroni.
Bake about 30 minutes or until the top is crispy.
