1 lb Elbow Macaroni Pasta

1 qt Whole Milk

6 tbsps Butter

1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour

8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated

8 oz Muenster Cheese, grated

1 tsp Black Pepper

1/8 tsp Nutmeg

2 tsps Salt

1 Onion, medium, finely chopped

2 cups Turkey Ham, diced, cooked

3/4 cup Bread Crumbs

2 tbsps Butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Boil water in a large pot. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package. Drain well.

Meanwhile, heat the milk in a saucepan, but don't boil. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, whisking. While whisking, add the milk, pepper, nutmeg, and salt and cook for a minute or two, until thickened and smooth. Take off the heat, add the cheeses, onion, and turkey ham. Add the cooked macaroni and pour into a baking dish.

Melt the last 2 tbsps of butter and mix with bread crumbs. Sprinkle this on top.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or til the sauce is bubbly.
