Hey Macaroni! We meet again.  One can never have too much macaroni, right? That's what my family believes anyway.  
This macaroni came about when we did family date night at a local steakhouse.  My kids naturally ordered the macaroni, and it had bacon in it.  They loved it.  Then I heard those horrible words "Mommy, I might like this better than your macaroni." What! I had to learn how to make it. Now they say this one is way better, and I'd like to believe it's true.
