Pour in the stock and the milk while stirring. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 3-5 mins and season to taste. Stir 1/2 of each cheese into the sauce.
Drain the macaroni and stir it into the sauce. Spoon the beef mixture into a greased baking dish. Cover with the macaroni cheese. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses.
