Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions; omitting salt. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook 2-3 minutes, or until slightly golden and bubbly.
- Slowly add the milk, followed by the half and half, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Let the mixture bubble and thicken, then slowly add the chicken broth while continuing to whisk.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan heat the milk with the thyme sprigs and 2 garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to keep lumps from forming. Strain the solids out of the milk and whisk it into the butter and flour mixture. Continue to whisk vigorously, and cook until the mixture is nice and smooth. Stir in the 4 cups of the cheese and continue to cook and stir to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni and the parsley and fold that all in to coat the macaroni with the cheese mixture. Scrape into a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
- While that bakes, heat a saute pan. Add the bacon, render the fat and cook until crispy. Add onion, garlic and thyme leaves and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the onion. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, scatter the bacon mixture over the mac and cheese. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some of the smoking bacon mixture on each spoonful.

Steps:
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the bacon and set the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Do not discard the bacon fat: Reserve that deliciousness!
- Add the butter and onion to the pan with the bacon fat; season with salt and cook until the onion is soft and aromatic, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture looks like wet sand, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, mustard and a few shakes of Tabasco. Season with salt and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the mixture is slightly thicker than heavy cream, 6 to 8 more minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook 1 minute less than the instructions on the package suggest. Taste it: It should be toothsome, with just a little nugget of hard pasta still in the center-this is al dente. Drain the pasta.
- Add the Cheddar, fontina and Parmesan to the milk mixture and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed, adding a little more milk if the mixture seems too thick. Stir in the cooked bacon and pasta. The mixture should be very creamy and flavorful. Serve immediately. (If making ahead, transfer to a baking dish or ramekins, then reheat in a 375 degree oven.)
5 CHEESE BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE
I've adapted this recipe off of others after not finding exactly what I want in the ones I've tried. Try not to use extra sharp or aged cheeses, they don't melt well and contribute to the grainy texture everyone talks about in macaroni and cheese. Also, make sure all your cheese is grated and macaroni is boiled and drained before finishing the cheese sauce. Overcooking or letting it sit too long can also make the texture grainy.

Decadent! Everyone raves about this dish. So cheesey and full of flavor. Good southern comfort food. Wonderful with pork chops or fried chicken. Originally I got the base of this recipe from Nell Carter on some TV show. I had to spice it up a bit.

Steps:
- For the eggrolls: Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Add the cream to the saucepan and heat for a minute or two. Add the Cheddar jack and processed cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the pasta, some pepper and the chopped bacon. Set aside.
- Put a small bowl of water next to a cutting board. One at a time, place an egg roll wrapper onto the cutting board with a corner of the wrapper pointing towards you. Dampen a finger with the water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the mac and cheese into the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper until it's tight and closed. Press to seal and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the egg rolls in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let the oil return to temperature between batches.
- For the quick ranch: Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, pesto, flaky sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with the eggrolls as a dipping sauce.

BACON MAC AND CHEESE
There's several steps to this recipe, but worth every one. A reworked recipe from Kelsey Nixon. Note: gruyere and fontina cheese have a very distinct flavor (and expensive). In its place, you can use additional cheddar. Also, this makes a large quantity. Recipe may be halved.

Steps:
- To Make The Sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or an oven-safe skillet.
- Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit, avoid browning, about 2 minutes. Add 3 cups of milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring the sauce to a boil. Add the nutmeg, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Over low heat, gradually add the Cheddar, Gruyere (or Fontina) and 1 cup Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until all of the cheese has melted. Add the remaining 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup cream. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce mixture and stir to coat evenly (it will be soupy, but will come together). Set aside.
- To Make The Rest: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until nearing al dente, but not fully cooked; drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In another large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy and golden brown. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet, reserving 1 tablespoons rendered bacon fat. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chopped parsley and 1 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat, stirring to coat the bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the macaroni then sprinkle over the crumbs the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Transfer macaroni to a large (12x14) buttered baking dish (I added the bacon on top at this point). Bake until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with crumbled cooked bacon. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
