BLT Mac and Cheese on a brown plate with a side salad

Once again, I found another Rachael Ray goody in her monthly magazines 🙂 I am always looking for fun twists on old favorites.

With my whole family being cheese lovers, mac & cheese has always been a favorite around here. My two children have a deep love for bacon and tomatoes, so I thought this mac & cheese recipe would be a winner!

This recipe turned out great. The girls & Darryl all loved it!

Enjoy! XO  Corey

  1. Just an FYI, you don’t mention the Tumeric as an ingredient in the ingredients list. I had to do a redo because I saw it later. Just a thought. Other than that, thank you for the amazing meals.
