This recipe just came to me via email from I've yet to make it but it looked, and sounds, amazing. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon |
1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced |
1 1/2 cups dried elbow macaroni (6 ounces, regular or multi grain) |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces) |
4 ounces processed gruyere cheese, shredded or 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled |
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup light cream |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet.
2. Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings for 5 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender and golden brown. Set aside.
3. In a large saucepan cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and return to saucepan. Stir in the crumbled bacon, onions, 1-1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the gruyere cheese, half-and half, and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Spoon into a 1-1/2-quart casserole.
4. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F ovenfor 20 minutes. Stir gently. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more or until top of casserole is brown and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes.
