Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan heat the milk with the thyme sprigs and 2 garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to keep lumps from forming. Strain the solids out of the milk and whisk it into the butter and flour mixture. Continue to whisk vigorously, and cook until the mixture is nice and smooth. Stir in the 4 cups of the cheese and continue to cook and stir to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni and the parsley and fold that all in to coat the macaroni with the cheese mixture. Scrape into a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- While that bakes, heat a saute pan. Add the bacon, render the fat and cook until crispy. Add onion, garlic and thyme leaves and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the onion. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, scatter the bacon mixture over the mac and cheese. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some of the smoking bacon mixture on each spoonful.

BACON AND PEA MAC 'N' CHEESE
This is a very simple way to liven up mac 'n' cheese. Throw in some bacon and frozen peas, and boom: instant elevation. The bacon and peas have that lovely salty-sweet combination, with peas bringing a little bit of freshness to this decadent dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish or eight 12-ounce ramekins.
- For the bechamel: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until just crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the 3 1/2 cups milk, the parsley, peppercorns, crushed red pepper, bay leaf and nutmeg in another medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from the heat and keep warm.
- When the bacon is crisp, remove it with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 6 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the saucepan. If you have less than 6 tablespoons, make up the difference with the butter and heat over medium heat until melted. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture is doughy and smells a bit nutty, about 1 minute.
- Strain in the warm milk about a half cup at a time into the flour mixture and cook, whisking to incorporate after each addition. The bechamel should be smooth and velvety. If it's chunky or too thick, whisk in some more milk.
- For the mac 'n' cheese: Remove the bechamel from the heat and add all of the cheeses; whisk to combine. Fold in half of the bacon. Next, fold in the macaroni, then the peas. Transfer to the prepared baking dish or ramekins. If using ramekins, place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining bacon pieces, the melted butter and a pinch each of salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the mac 'n' cheese and bake until the sauce is bubbly and the crust is browned on top, 30 to 45 minutes (depending on the baking vessel).
- Let rest for 10 minutes then serve.

SMOKY BACON MAC-N-CHEESE
I took my All-American Macaroni and Cheese recipe and turned the amplifier up to 11. Smoked mozzarella gives this dish just the right amount of smoky flavor and luscious, gooey-stretchy cheese texture. The addition of smoky, crumbled bacon is a bonus as well as a hint of sweetness from caramelizing the onions. My family thoroughly enjoyed this version of mac-n-cheese. It is definitely a fantastic once-in-a-while treat well worth every cheesy calorie.

BACON MAC AND CHEESE
There's several steps to this recipe, but worth every one. A reworked recipe from Kelsey Nixon. Note: gruyere and fontina cheese have a very distinct flavor (and expensive). In its place, you can use additional cheddar. Also, this makes a large quantity. Recipe may be halved.

Steps:
- To Make The Sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or an oven-safe skillet.
- Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit, avoid browning, about 2 minutes. Add 3 cups of milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring the sauce to a boil. Add the nutmeg, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Over low heat, gradually add the Cheddar, Gruyere (or Fontina) and 1 cup Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until all of the cheese has melted. Add the remaining 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture and stir to coat evenly (it will be soupy, but will come together). Set aside.
- To Make The Rest: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until nearing al dente, but not fully cooked; drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In another large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy and golden brown. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet, reserving 1 tablespoons rendered bacon fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chopped parsley and 1 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat, stirring to coat the bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the macaroni then sprinkle over the crumbs the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Transfer macaroni to a large (12x14) buttered baking dish (I added the bacon on top at this point). Bake until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with crumbled cooked bacon. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly oil butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Set butternut squash, cut-side down, on the lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven until butternut squash can easily be pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
- At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Remove 2 cups hot pasta water to a liquid measure; add bouillon cube and stir to dissolve. Drain pasta.
- Pour 1 cup broth from the liquid measure into a large pot. Scoop roasted butternut squash flesh into the pot and blend with an immersion blender, adding more broth as needed to achieve a light creamy texture.
- Place the pot over medium heat and mix in Cheddar cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and sauce is thick. Add drained pasta and mix to combine. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Serve topped with crumbled bacon.
