Ingredients
- 6 strips Carolina Pride Lower Sodium Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 lb. box elbow macaroni
- 1 stick butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- 16 oz. colby cheese
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook macaroni according to box instructions. Rinse with cold water, drain and set aside. Melt butter, then add flour and mix for a roux until all lumps are gone but not long enough for butter to change color. Add milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add all of the colby cheese and half of the cheddar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Place macaroni into a glass baking dish or slow cooker. Pour mixture over the top, then sprinkle with bacon. Bake 45 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. If using slow cooker, heat on low for 2-3 hours or until bubbly.
