I often make this ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving. Add 15 to 20 minutes to cooking time. Panko (Japanese style) or seasoned Italian bread crumbs can be substituted for bread crumbs. Leftover ham works well in place of the bacon.

This macaroni and cheese was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was creamy and the cheese was melted perfectly, but it was just too heavy for me. I would probably make a different recipe next time.
