Instructions

Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion starts to soften but not brown. Add the flour to the pot and stir it continuously for 2-3 minutes, or until it is light brown. Pour the milk into the pot while whisking constantly. It will thicken up a lot at first but then thin as you pour in more milk. Bring the pot to a boil for 2 minutes, or until it has thickened.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the 4 kinds of cheese to the pot in a few additions. Stir the pot until the cheeses have melted then add the dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper. Taste the cheese sauce and add more sea salt and pepper if you'd like.
Stir the macaroni into the cheese sauce. Serve with pepper on top and a little grated white cheddar on top.
