[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of mac and cheese, but this recipe was actually really good! The bacon and cheese sauce were both very flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

[email protected]I've made this dish several times and it's always a hit! The bacon and cheese sauce are so flavorful and creamy. I like to add some extra black pepper for a bit of spice. The pasta is cooked perfectly and the whole dish comes together in under 30 min
