Recipe Review: Bacon Mac

This recipe is from Cooking Light's Sept. 2009 issue.

MY THOUGHTS: Deep down I always have really wanted to like homemade mac-n-cheese. This recipe, even though interesting still leaves me wanting something else. I love the texture and the consistency (a bit crisp and not so saucy) yet I don't like the combination of the sharp cheddar and hot sauce. The bacon and green onions along with the penne makes for a yummy mixture. Perhaps without the hot sauce and with a different cheese, this might make it... I give it 2/5 stars.

DIFFICULTY: Easy. The recipe was easy to follow and nothing really through me for a loop.

MAKE IT AGAIN: If you like traditional mac-n-cheese, then yes. If you like Kraft box style, then no. :)
