Considering I only eat this kinda stuff MAYBE 3x a year at max, it’s totally worth it to me.

Lots and lots of photos to help you nail this recipe, and believe me — when you nail it, you’re going to love it.
Holy balls. This is the perfect recipe for those of you who like to enjoy a big bowl of macaroni and cheese for dinner and absolutely nothing else. It’s beautifully flavored, creamy, cheesy, and with the smokey bite of crisp salty bacon on top?? Oh man, you guys are in for a treat — I’m not even kidding. It’s amazing.
