Fancy macaroni and cheese was one of the first internet recipes I tried.

My whole life I have been a devoted Kraft macaroni lover - but in an effort to expand my food and cooking horizons I tried this one out because it seemed like a tasty choice. Plus, I mean come on, it has bacon. How can one say no to bacon?

This is the recipe that I followed:

Ease of preparation: 3.5
Taste: 4.5
Feeds: 4-8 (realistically about 6, depends on how hungry everyone is!)

It is divine.

I have made this recipe for a lot of people, and the general response is "This is fucking fantastic." Literally that, verbatim. And I must say I agree.

Changes / Suggestions

I find that generally the types of cheeses you use don't matter too much to the level of tastiness. I'm just an unfortunate poor college student so buying $10 blocks of fancy cheese can get a little bit out of my budget. Typically I just use shredded cheddar, Parmesan, fontina cheese and goat cheese.

Also, when I cook for my vegetarian friends I just leave off the bacons! :)
