"As you know by now,I've been in the process of moving my recipes from another site to here. So here's another one of those recipes. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:" I was getting tired of my usual Mac & Cheese,so this is what I came up with.The prep time includes the frying of the bacon and also includes the cooking time for the pasta.If you don't have the pasta that the recipe calls for, just use what you have on hand.The amount of salt and pepper you use is strictly up to your own personal tastes.Also, if your a cheese addict like me,;)you can always add more cheese to the top before baking."
