1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups skim milk
Onion powder, to taste
1/2 tsp paprika

5 oz extra sharp shredded cheddar cheese
3 oz low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. 2. Cook macaroni as directed on package, drain and set aside. 3. Melt butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Add flour a little bit at a time, stirring constantly and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk milk in slowly. Stir in onion powder and paprika. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently and then remove from heat. 4. Combine the blue cheese with about two-thirds of both types of cheddar cheese in the saucepan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in macaroni. Pour half of the macaroni mixture into your casserole dish and top with remaining cheddar cheeses. Pour in the other half of the macaroni mixture and sprinkle Parmesan cheese and panko crumbs over the top. 5. Bake for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Yields 9 servings.
