Ed-S Macaroni Jumble

Ingredients

• 1 pound elbow macaroni
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses until cheese is melted.
