Mac N Cheese, kinda southern style

 Trying to recall a really good mac n cheese I made, but can't find the recipe. Here goes. (Proportion comment follows)

 Mix a roux. Use

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups half n half 
  • 1/2 cup flour 
  • grated nutmeg

It's helpful to start with a small amount of half n half and the flour. Mix that and then add more liquid.

  • cheddar (4 cups)
  • Gruyere (2 cups)
  • 1.5 lbs. pasta
  • diced tomatoes, 1 can

Cook the pasta ahead of time. We did 1 cup and that was ... too little. Either cut down the proportions of the cheese and roux, or up the pasta. 1 pound of pasta produced a side dish for three and ... will be two more meals. So maybe cut down the cheese. 

I honestly think 2 + 2 cups of cheese and everything else in half would be just fine.
