While the pan is still hot, add the butter to the big saucepan or skillet. Warm it up.When you add the flour, whisk it in until it's all mixed in.
While continuing to whisk, add the milk in a slow and steady stream, taking care not to rush the process, and continue whisking until the ingredients are completely incorporated.

Turn down the heat and add the Parmesan, Colby, and cheddar cheeses. Mix it all together until the cheese melts completely.Add it to the cooked pasta and mix it in.

Put the mixture in the casserole dish that has been made.Using a fork, mix the cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium-sized bowl until everything is well mixed.
