Step 1

Boil pasta according to package instructions, just until al dente. Don’t overcook! Strain (don't rinse) and set aside.

Step 2

Shred cheese and set aside to allow to come to room temperature.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 8x8 baking dish.

Step 4

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Remove some, but not all of the grease from the pan and chop/crumble into pieces.

Step 5

Make Cheese Sauce: Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and then whisk in flour. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in milk. Add the cornstarch to the half and half and whisk until smooth. Gradually add it to skillet followed by mustard, chicken bullion, onion powder, garlic, powder, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook sauce, stirring well, for a few more minutes, just until it begins to slightly thicken. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Taste and add additional seasonings, if needed.

Step 6

Add bacon (reserve a handful to top at the end), and cooked pasta and toss to evenly coat in sauce. Pour mixture into 8x8’’ baking dish. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.

Step 7

Breadcrumb topping: Add panko, melted butter and olive oil to a skillet (or the saucepan used to cook the pasta). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the crumbs are golden brown. Evenly sprinkle over the mac cheese. Add remaining bacon crumbles on top.

Step 8

Bake 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm.
