4 Cheese Bacon Mac-n-Cheese
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.
