This mac n cheese is the ultimate comfort food with its gooey, cheesy goodness and crispy breadcrumb topping, perfect for any day of the week.

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).

2. 2

   In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon crispy and the fat has rendered.

3. 3

   Add the garlic, bread crumbs, chives, and parsley. Stir and cook until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot.

4. 4

   In the same pot on medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until combined.

5. 5

   Add the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, mustard powder, and cayenne. Whisk to incorporate and smooth any lumps. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.

6. 6

   Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine.

7. 7

   Add the cheddar, Gruyère, Colby Jack, Gouda, and provolone cheese, then fold the cheeses into the pasta. If it seems too dry, add more milk to your liking.

8. 8

   Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar.

9. 9

   Bake for 45 minutes, or until the mac ‘n’ cheese is bubbly, melted, and golden brown on top.
