1 package (16 ounces) uncooked elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups 2% milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/2 cup sour cream


Directions

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk and seasonings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Reduce heat; add cheeses and stir until melted. Stir in sour cream. Drain macaroni; stir into sauce. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: This recipe can also be baked with a crumb topping. Place macaroni in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Combine 1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter; sprinkle over macaroni. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.
