Macaroni and Cheese has always been one of my favorites, and I am forever trying to figure out the perfect Mac 'n Cheese Recipe. Unfortunately, there is no perfect recipe, because they are all so good. For a change from the traditional, here I'll show you how to make an Adult Mac 'n Cheese, that is loaded up with sauteed mushrooms and leeks. I like to use penne pasta, and even through in a bit of spinach.

The result is a Mac 'n Cheese that you kids may recognized, but one that's truly for you. It a very simple pasta recipe to make, and it's great either as a side or main course.

Recipe below:
Mac & Cheese for Grown-up’s!

• 1 box of macaroni noodles (1 lb)
• 6 oz Sharp Cheddar
• 6 oz mild Cheddar
• 4 oz Gouda
• ½ brick of cream cheese
• 3 TBS butter (for cheese sauce)
• 3 cups of milk
• 3 TBS all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp ground mustard powder
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp paprika
• 3 TBS melted butter (for crunchy topping)
• 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
• 8 slices of bacon, cooked crispy, and crumbled.

Prep-work:
Grate the cheese. Let the cream cheese come to come temp.
Measure out all ingredients.
Heat a large pot of water and add 2 TBS salt, bring to a boil. Cook noodles 8 minutes until al dente’. Drain water, and place noodles in a zip lock bag with a tsp of oil and squish them around to coat and keep them from sticking together.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan or in the oven. Drain & crumble.

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Make the cheese sauce: In a deep sauce pan, melt 3 TBS butter and 1 tsp of olive oil. Add 3 TBS flour and mix thoroughly. Cook on medium heat until the flour gives off a nutty aroma. Add 3 cups of milk and bring up to a low simmer. Add all the cheese and stir until everything is melted and incorporated. Add the seasonings and stir. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
Spray a large baking dish with non-stick spray and pour in the cooked pasta. Pour the cheese over the noodles and stir well.
In a small bowl, add panko bread crumbs, bacon, 3 TBS melted butter and a tsp of olive oil, salt & pepper and stir well. Spread this mixture over the cheesy noodles evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. The top will be toasty brown and the cheese will be bubbling along the sides. Serve immediately!
(Feel free to use any combination of cheese you like. There is no wrong way but keep in mind, some cheeses melt better than others. And as for the bacon---you can add as much as you want because it's BACON, and WHY NOT!!???)
