Macaroni with 4 Cheeses!

Notes: 

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002
Total Time: 1 hr 15 min (Prep 15 min, Cook 1 hr 0 min) Yield: 6 servings Level: Easy
REVIEWER: This was even more amazing after I froze the 2nd one...I made 1 batch & divided it...a couple days, thawed it out and baked it at 375 degrees for about 30 min. The 1st one I baked was very greasy. The 2nd one was perfect and I think it even tasted better.

I didn't use Fontina...just parm, sharp white cheddar and gruyere. I added 1 tsp dry mustard and just a bit of nutmeg to the bechamel. For the 2C of liquid, I used 1C full fat half & half, 1/2 C fat free half & half and 1/2 C whole milk. I also splashed a bit of whole milk over the top of the casserole before I added the bread crumbs.
