Smoky Bacon Mac

5 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound dried elbow pasta
  • 1 pound sliced bacon
  • 2 cups
  • 1 cup grated smoked Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated Jack cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until a little less than al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain the pasta again.
  2. 2
    Cook the bacon in a frying pan over high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove extra grease by patting the strips with a paper towel, and then cut into bite-size pieces.
  3. 3
    Add the sauce and both cheeses to a large, heavy-bottomed pot and cook over medium heat. Stir until the cheese is barely melted, about 3 minutes. Add the bacon and stir to combine. Slowly add the cooked pasta, stir, and continue cooking while stirring continuously until the dish is nice and hot, another 5 minutes.
  4. 4
    Spoon into bowls and serve hot.
