If you love cheese like I do try my Cheddar Bacon Jam Puff Pastry Bites, Green Chili Chicken Mac and Cheese Muffins or this Chili Mac and Cheese Casserole. Super cheesy and gooey, loaded with bacon and tender pasta all topped with a buttery, crunchy, golden brown crust. Watch the video below to see how easy this is to make.
CHICKEN BACON MACARONI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE FREE
Feel free to omit the hot sauce if it’s not for you, but I highly recommend it. So if you’re looking for a different mac and cheese recipe this version using cream cheese and a little buffalo hot sauce is for you.

Everything better with cheddar – and bacon! That’s why I chose cream cheese and lots of mozzarella with a nice touch of sharp cheddar. Unlike hard, low moisture cheeses that contain so little water in them that it’s harder to melt. See the proteins are loosely packed with lots of water mixed throughout them, so they liquefy really quick. The reason for this is the high moisture content. Dipping your bread in, smothering pasta or all stretchy on top of pizza, it’s all good. Keeping with that crunchy exterior of the meatballs, I made sure to add that aspect as the topping for this Bacon Mac and Cheese Casserole.Ĭheeses that are perfect for melting like mozzarella, Monterey jack, cream cheese, and Brie are wonderful all gooey and soft. With a little of that influence coming from Franks Hot Sauce, like in my Baked Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs, it was my go to for that kick of heat. I felt like making some Buffalo Chicken the other evening with some pasta on the side and got the idea for this Bacon Mac and Cheese. Topped with crunchy Panko breadcrumbs and baked to a bubbly, golden brown it’s an undeniable indulgence. Well, really a guilty pleasure! For my Bacon Mac and Cheese Casserole, I load it with crispy bacon, cheddar, mozzarella and cream cheeses. Mac and Cheese, the ultimate classic comfort food, is a house favorite.
