It's not until the last step, though. Three Cheese Macaroni Casserole Serving Size: 6 1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni 2 tablespoons margarine 2 tablespoons flour 3/4 cup milk 3/4 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon hot sauce -- or to taste salt and pepper -- to taste 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions until tender but still firm. Drain and place in a greased casserole dish. In a small saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat and then whisk in the flour. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pasty. Gradually drizzle in the milk, whisking constantly, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat, but keep it warm. Reserve 1 tablespoon of each of the cheeses in a small bowl. Add the remaining cheese to the white sauce and stir until smooth. Heat over low heat, if necessary, to melt the cheese. Add the hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the macaroni in the baking dish and stir until well mixed. Mix the breadcrumbs and the 3 tablespoons of reserved cheese and sprinkle over the top of the macaroni. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly and lightly browned on top.
