Bacon Loaded Mac N ' Cheese image

I was tired of my usual Mac N' Cheese, so this is what I came up with.The prep times include the frying of the bacon, and also includes the cooking time of the pasta.If you don't have the pasta that this recipe calls for, please use whatever you have on hand. And the amount of salt and pepper is strictly up to your own personal tastes.And if you are a cheese addict like me, :) you can add more cheese to the top before baking.Submitted to " ZAAR " on November 18th, 2009

This recipe was a disappointment. The mac n' cheese was bland and the bacon was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it's still a good mac n' cheese dish. I would recommend using less cheese or adding some vegetables to lighten it up.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tempeh bacon in this recipe. It turned out great and I would definitely make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The mac n' cheese was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with bacon.

I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the cheese sauce.
