- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.

- Top with the remaining noodle mixture.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Colby Jack cheese until melted.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and the panko breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
