Heat oven to 350°F. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain.

Meanwhile, melt 1/4 cup butter in 3-quart saucepan until sizzling; stir in flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and bubbly (1 minute). Add half & half and salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened (3 to 4 minutes).

Stir together all remaining ingredients in small bowl; sprinkle over macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and golden brown.
