Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- At the same time, cook bacon in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until it starts to turn golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Add panko and stir well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into the melted butter and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add milk slowly, whisking continuously, until sauce is smooth. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Add Gruyere, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses and season with more salt and pepper if desired. Stir and cook until cheeses have fully melted, about 3 minutes.
- Add drained pasta and stir until coated. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle bacon-panko mixture over top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
