Creamy and cheesy mac and cheese with three different types of cheese. Cheddar cheese, cobly jack and grated parmesan cheese are all used in this cheesy mac and cheese. The creamy sauce is made on the stove-top and mixed with cooked pasta. The three different types of cheese go perfectly together in this dish. It makes a delicious side dish to go alongside any dinner.
Elbow pasta is first cooked according to the package directions and placed into a large bowl. Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, you can start the creamy three-cheese sauce. Flour is cooked with melted butter until browned, then the milk, all three types of cheese, salt, and pepper are added to the sauce. Cook until all of the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Mix with the cooked pasta.
