Panko gives this casserole a nice crunchy crust, but any of these options will work. Panko bread crumbs can be substituted with traditional bread crumbs or crushed butter crackers (like Ritz brand). Monterey jack cheese is a great substitute for either cheese because it melts easily into a creamy, smooth sauce. Gruyere can be substituted with swiss cheese for a similar flavor. I like to use a combination of half gruyere cheese and half sharp cheddar cheese (the sharp cheddar is hiding under the gruyere in the photo above!), but you can use all of one cheese if you prefer. Macaroni can be substituted with 16 ounces of any medium sized pasta.
