I saw this recipe in a magazine and thougt it looked delicious, so I made it. Oh my, it is freakin delicious. I was telling a friend about this recipe and when we couldn't fine the magazine, I thought I'd post it on my blog.
1 box (pound) macaroni (I used penne)
6 slices bacon (I use more)
1 TBSP unsalted butter
2 TBSP flour
2 cups 2% milk
1/2 tsp onion flakes
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup (4oz) colby-jack cheese, shredded
1 cup (4oz) mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 slices KRAFT deli deluxe american cheese
1. Heat oven to 350, coat a 3 quart broiler safe pan with cooking spray.
bring a large pot of water to boil.
2. cook bacon in sauce pan until crisp. Place bacon on paper towels, carefully drain grease,
return 2 TBSP bacon grease to pan, add butter. Meanwhile cook noodles in boiling water 8 min, drain and return to pot.
3. Wisk flour into butter/drippings, until smooth. In a thin stream wisk in milk, add onion flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over med-high heat, then reduce and simmer 2 min. In a large bowl, mix colby-jack, ceddar, and mozzarella together.
4. Remove milk mixture from heat, wisk in american cheese and 1 1/4 cup of the the shredded cheese mix, toss bacon pieces with remaining shredded cheese.
5. In pasta pot, combine cooked pasta with cheese sauce. Pour half into prepared dish, sprinkle with half of cheese-bacon mix, repeat layers.
6. Bake 350 for 20 min, increase oven temp to broil and broil 3 min until top is lightly browned.
Make the whole recipe because the leftovers are just as good as the original meal. If you are wondering what to serve as a side dish, my suggestion is a bottle of LIPITOR.
One non-rainy spring day we went to Willow Park. I kept refering to the park as the ZOO and someone was pretty disappointed that there weren't any elephants there. Later I guess we will have to brave the Real Zoo, til then feeding the ducks was kinda fun.
Little Sarah found her soul-sister in this Duck, this little ducky took over feeding time and pretty well chased all the other duckies away.
Hide and seek! we have started to play this game at our house, of course they find the best spots when I am trying to get them out the door.
This was the egg dye this year, after too many spilled dye cups I was delighted when I saw this bag kit. It was so simple you put the egg in the bag add 2 drops of the dye (its about the consistency of nail polish) and squish it around. LESS MESS! YAY!
These were mine and Megan's Bunny cupcakes. It was frosting overload, but cute.
Happy Easter! We have early church and had to rush out in the morning so our egg hunt was inside. But the Bunny left plenty of candy.
After church Sarah got into the winter clothes and put this hat on all by herself. I thought it was pretty funny.
