Ingredients
  • 16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni (I change up the noodles often)
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4-6 strips of bacon (cooked, cut and chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Salt and Pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook macaroni according to the package directions. Drain.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in enough flour to make a roux. Add milk to roux slowly, stirring constantly. Stir in 3 cups cheddar cheese and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce thickens. Pour macaroni into the sauce mixture and stir well.
  3. Cook bacon and roughly chop.
  4. Pour half of the macaroni mixture into a casserole dish. Sprinkle ½ cup cheddar cheese, 1.2 cup Parmesan cheese and half of the bacon pieces over macaroni mixture. Pour the remaining macaroni mixture and repeat.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Serve.
