Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes or until translucent. Add flour and cook an additional minute. Whisk in milk, and continue cooking over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Reduce to low heat and stir in Cheddar and Fontina cheeses, mixing until melted and well incorporated. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, pepper, and paprika, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
Place cheese mixture and cooked macaroni in large bowl, mixing well to combine. Transfer mixture to a greased 9" x 13" x 2" (23 cm x 33 cm x 5 cm) baking pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to brown and crisp top. Serve immediately.
