Homemade Mac & Cheese

I made this one last week but didn't get the chance to type it up. I took the receipe from the kraft what's cooking magazine (link: http://www.kraftcanada.com/en/recipes/four-star-macaroni-cheese-bake-85593.aspx)

3 Tbsp. margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
2 cups Old Cheddar Shredded Cheese, divided (I used about 3 cups of marble cheddar)
1/4 cup Parmesan Grated Cheese
3 cups cooked elbow macaroni
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs

HEAT oven to 350°F.

MELT margarine in large saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 1 min., stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk; cook and stir 3 to 5 min. or until thickened. Add 1-1/2 cups Cheddar and Parmesan; cook and stir 1 min. or until Cheddar is melted.

ADD macaroni; stir to evenly coat. Spoon into 1.5-L casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with remaining Cheddar and bread crumbs.

BAKE 20 min. or until lightly browned and heated through.

RESULTS: It was really good. I froze the leftovers for lunches and they heated up really well and I think might have been even better as leftovers.
