I went to my fridge and pulled out my bag of Wright Brand Bacon (honestly the best bacon in the world) and made this amazing mac and cheese.
Cheesy Bacon-y Mac and Cheese in the Crock Pot
1 Box of Pasta (I used Rotini because I live dangerously)
12 oz can of evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups of milk
2 beaten eggs
4 cups of shredded cheese
BACON!!!!!
Spray down your crock pot with Pam or some similar spray. Layer your bacon in the bottom of your crock pot (I used 5 pieces). Add a small layer of shredded cheese. Add in 1/2 of the pasta. Add another small layer of cheese. Add the rest of the pasta.
In a bowl, beat together your eggs and add the evaporated milk, regular milk, mix together and then pour over the pasta. Add the rest of the cheese. Do you see where this is going? Add a few more strips of bacon over the top of the cheese. Why the Hell not? If you want your bacon on the top crispy, I would recommend cooking it first. I also added some bread crumbs to give it a breaded top.
Cook on High for 2 hrs., then low for another hour or so to make sure the bacon on the bottom is fully cooked. Make sure you reward yourself for such a good job done with a nice tall glass of boxed wine.
YUM! |
This recipe is so amazing-my family LOVED it! The pasta was delicious, the sauce was so amazing and the bacon gave every bite a little bacony goodness. This is a great meal for a cold day, when you just need your food to go "thud." Comfort food at it's best. It's also a great meal for any other day because, you know, bacon.
