Baked Macaroni and Cheese image

This recipe came off of the box of Mueller's elbow macaroni and everyone loved it so I am putting it here for safe keeping. I used the Kraft three cheese crumbles (monterey jack, colby and cheddar) in place of sharp cheddar and I think that is what made it SO yummy! And I sprinkled sharp cheddar on top the last 10 minutes of cooking and did not use the croutons.
