Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes, making sure not to overcook. Drain and set aside.
- While the macaroni is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Blend in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mix in Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese; stir until melted. Add dill pickle relish, onion, Sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper to cheese mixture. Stir in cooked macaroni. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Butter both sides of bread and tear into large pieces. Blend in a food processor or electric blender until you have crumbs. Spread on top of casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned on top, about 45 minutes.

PICKLE MARGARITA
Calling all pickle lovers, this one's for you! It's the perfect margarita for a hot summer's day. The fresh dill flavor is what makes it, so I recommend using fresh, refrigerated pickles instead of the ones in the pantry aisle.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. The better the cheese, the better the macaroni and cheese will be.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be al dente, not mushy.
- Don't add all of the milk at once. Add it gradually, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Season the macaroni and cheese to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
- For a crispier topping, broil the macaroni and cheese for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the macaroni and cheese immediately. It's best when it's hot and gooey.
