I am all for anything that helps me get dinner on the table quicker. Like many of you, I am still trying to get into the back to school swing. I am feeling a little stressed by new schedules and changes. Dinner should not be another thing to stress about. I recently made this easy Bacon Mac and Cheese. If you are still craving mac and cheese, try this exciting variation - One Pot Chili Mac and Cheese.
For the Bacon Mac and Cheese you will need:
- 1 box of elbow macaroni
- 3 cups of shredded cheese (we used a cheddar and jack mix)
- Evaporated Milk - 12 oz can
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to make bacon mac and cheese
Preheat the oven to 375. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain. Pour ⅓ of the macaroni into a greased 2 quart casserole dish.
Cover with 1 cup of shredded cheese, salt, pepper and a few pats of butter. Repeat this process three times until you have created three layers of macaroni and cheese.
Pour the can of Carnation Evaporated Milk over the entire casserole.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. When it comes out of the oven sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top.
The combined bacon and cheese flavor reminded me of a loaded baked potato. This meal makes plenty, so there will be leftovers of the bacon mac and cheese which always makes my life easier.

Howdy! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does managing a well-established website such as yours take a large amount of work? I'm completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!|
