Creamy Mac Cheese with Bacon

Welcome Back! Or if this is your first time visiting, Welcome!! I don't know about you, but once it starts to get a little cold outside, I always crave a little something warm on the inside! This recipe is a triple-threat....Easy To Make, Inexpensive To Make,  & Will Feed the Masses! (And have them coming back for seconds!) It might not be the healthiest thing to make, but it's delicious and should be consumed in moderation.....IF you have the will power not to eat it all yourself! ;) Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 Lb. Elbow Pasta (Or any other pasta that will hold up under the cheesy, ooey-gooey sauce! Penne or Mostacciolli both work great!
3/4 Lb. Bacon, Cooked and Diced (About 1 Cup)
3 Cups Heavy Cream
2-3 Cups of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Green Onions, finely chopped

*Sour Cream can be used for garnish on top

Fill a pot large enough to boil the entire box of Pasta, with water and bring to a rolling boil. Drop in pasta and cook to package instructions.

Meanwhile, place a large Saute' pan or Skillet over high heat for several minutes. Once hot, add the bacon and cook until crunchy but not burnt. Once cooked, remove bacon and place on paper towel to drain excess grease. Pour used oil out, but leave any bacon bits in pan/skillet. Once bacon has cooled, dice  and set aside. 

Add the heavy cream to the pan/skillet, over medium heat and bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan and mixing with cream. Once cream boils, reduce heat and simmer until cream is reduced slightly about 3-5 minutes. 

Slowly add cheese, green onions and bacon, stirring well and cook over medium-high heat until cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with balk pepper and salt to your taste. Add the pasta to the sauce, once cooked and drained well, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately after and again, you can garnish with sour cream if you like!

Enjoy with a cup of soup, or a salad and you're all set!
