This waas delicious!!!!! I used lumache (snail shell pasta) since I find they hold sauce very well, I really like them for baked pasta dishes. I subbed cream for about 1/3 of the milk, and I forgot that the bacon was for on top, so I mixed it in .. very nice, though! I also used up about 20 gr of creamy blue cheese that was in the fridge, in addition to a generous use of cheese! This was a rich and creamy, decadent mac 'n 'cheese, we really enjoyed it, and DH is the lucky one who gets the leftovers for lunch, grr! Loved this recipe, made for I Recommend tag game. -

Made today for a side to dinner, was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Very nice combination of the ingredients here, the bacon and the cheese was great, my kids said melts in your mouth, like that candy says. Made for PRMR tag. -
This was a nice change from traditional mac and cheese. I used rotini since that is what I had left and thought it could have used a little more cheese; next time I will add some to the top with the bacon like a previous reviewer stated. Made for ZWT-7~THE HOT PINK LADIES. -
Lovely comfort food for a rainy day! I added some chopped fresh dill to the cheese sauce because I had it to use up, and I grated about 3oz extra cheese over the top before baking it (extra cheese is always a good thing). I liked the cheese sauce so much that I probably could've eaten that by itself, like soup lol. Very nice, thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7 -
