Mac & Cheese with Bacon

Let's face it, everything tastes better with bacon! I mean they even make donuts with bacon crumbles on it! This recipe is relatively healthy (other than the bacon) and yummy! My kids are eating it for a snack as I type this....and are excited to have it again for dinner tonight!

Mac & Cheese with Bacon
12 oz whole wheat pasta (shells or elbow)
1- 12oz can evaporated milk
1/2 t dried mustard
3 eggs
1/2 t hot sauce
12 oz shredded cheese (I used 1 8oz bag Mex mix and 1/2 bag sharp cheddar)
salt, pepper to taste
10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

Cook the pasta in large pot according to directions. While pasta is cooking, whisk eggs, milk, hot sauce and seasonings in a separate bowl. Drain pasta and pour back into pot. Promptly add a scoop of pasta to liquid mixture to temper the eggs. Quickly add all the liquid into the pasta. Mix and add all cheese until thickened. Add all the bacon crumbles to the mac & cheese OR serve in separate bowls with bacon sprinkled on top for a crunchy meal! This makes a big batch of yumminess!
