16 oz elbow macaroni
2 c milk whole is bet, for thicker use 1.5 c milk and 1/2 c heavy whipping cream
4 oz American cheese sliced from the deli, not packaged Kraft, torn into pieces
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
8 oz cheddar cheese block, shredded
4 oz white cheddar cheese shredded
1/2 c parmesan cheese shredded
2 tbsp romano cheese shredded

Preheat the oven to broil. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the elbow macaroni. Cook for 20 minutes until slightly al dente but tender.
Drain and rinse with cold water. Transfer the macaroni to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl toss together ½ cup of the cheddar cheese and ½ cup of the white cheddar cheese. Set aside to use for the topping.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the milk, American cheese, butter, and salt, stirring often until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the remaining cheeses to the saucepan and heat just until melted. Remove from heat. Pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni and stir to blend. Sprinkle the reserved cheeses over the top of the casserole.
Place under the oven broiler and heat for 2 to 3minutes or until the cheese is beginning to brown slightly. Then serve.
