Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Cook the macaroni

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 16 oz of elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the macaroni and set aside.

3
Prepare the cheese sauce

In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture turns light golden brown.

4
Add milk and seasonings

Gradually pour in 3 cups of milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

5
Prepare the cheeses

While the sauce simmers, shred 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese, 4 oz of Gruyère cheese, and 4 oz of Gouda cheese. Grate 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cut 4 oz of cream cheese into small cubes.

6
Add cheeses to the sauce

Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar, Gruyère, Gouda, grated Parmesan, and cubed cream cheese. Whisk until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

7
Combine macaroni and cheese sauce

In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and the cheese sauce, stirring until the macaroni is evenly coated.

8
Transfer to a baking dish

Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

9
Add breadcrumb topping

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese.

10
Bake the mac and cheese

Bake the Five-Cheese Mac and Cheese for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.

11
Let it cool and serve

Remove the mac and cheese from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy, and comforting Five-Cheese Mac and Cheese!
