Four Cheese with Bacon Mac1 box (1 lb) noodles (I used the wheel kind and the kids loved them)
6 slices of bacon (diced)
1 T. Butter
3 T. Flour
2 cups 2% milk
1/2 t. onion flakes
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 C. shredded colby-jack cheese (4 oz)
1 C. shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
8 slices american cheese
1 - Heat oven to 350. Grease a 3 qt. broiler-safe baking dish (I used a cake pan because it's all I had) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2 - Cook noodles 8 minutes in boiling water, then drain. Meanwhile, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towel. Pour off drippings, returning 2 T. back to the pan. Add butter.
3 - Whisk in flour until smooth. In a thin stream, whisk in milk. Stir in onion flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. In large bowl, toss together cheddar, colby-Jack and mozzarella.
4 - Remove milk mixture from heat; whisk in American cheese and 1 1/4 cups of the cheddar mixture. Toss bacon pieces with remaining shredded cheese.
5 - In pasta pot, combine cooked pasta and cheese sauce. Pour half into prepared dish. Sprinkle with a generous cup of the bacon-cheese mixture. Repeat layering.
6 - Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Increase oven temp to broil and broil 3 minutes, until top is lightly browned. Cool slightly before serving.
