Number Of Ingredients 11

16 oz package elbow macaroni
6 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1/2 c all purpose flour
5 1/2 c milk, divided
2 1/2 c shredded smoked gouda cheese
1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 c shredded swiss or provolone cheese
1 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c panko or bread crumbs
1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne(depending on taste)
olive oil

Steps:

  • 3. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add flour and whisk continually for 1 to 2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk in 2 C of the milk into the roux until smooth and add remaining milk. Raise the heat to medium high and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, but not boiling. Stir in all the shredded cheeses and 1 C of the parmesan cheese into the mixture. Once the cheeses have melted completely, fold in drained macaroni into the mixture to coat. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
