Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish (like a 9-inch x 13-inch deep baking dish) with cooking spray or grease with butter and set aside.
- Place milk in a small saucepan and keep over low heat just to warm through.
- Cook macaroni pasta according to package instructions one minute short of al dente (it will finish cooking in the oven). Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, paprika, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and black pepper. Stir.
- Add butter to onion mixture and melt. Add flour and stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add half of beer, stirring until thickened slightly. Add remaining beer, stirring for a couple more minutes until thickened slightly.
- About a cup at a time, add the warmed milk to the pot, stirring between each addition and letting thicken slightly. Add cream cheese and whisk until incorporated.
- Turn off heat and add 2 cups of mozzarella and all of the cheddar and gouda. Stir in cooked pasta.
- Pour pasta mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with bread crumbs, Parmesan and remaining 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until top has browned slightly and mixture is bubbly.
- Carefully remove from oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
- While mac and cheese is cooling, place bacon on a sheet pan (in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess grease. Crumble over mac and cheese and garnish with parsley to taste, if using. Serve and enjoy!
