Sorry cronos, I missed this in all the excitement.
Here ya go:

1 cup elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (secret ingredient!!)
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 ounces bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
8 Ritz crackers crumbled up


1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease shallow casserole dish.
2. Cook pasta drain and return to saucepan.
3. Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat . Whisk in flour,
salt, garlic powder, worscestershire, and pepper; cook and stir 1 minute.
Whisk in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add cheese; stir until melted.
4. Add cheese mixture and bacon to pasta; stir until well blended. Slop it into
the casserole dish. Top with the Ritz crackers. Bake, uncovered, about 20
minutes or until a crust forms.

I'm seriously going to try this some night. Many thanks.

The worchestershire sauce is intriguing. As is the bacon.

That sounds really good, I may try it this weekend. I'll do everything but the ritz crackers, I'm not big on those being used as a topping.

Try toasted wheat germ; it works great for this kind of thing!

we usually do pasta and put some garlic, parmasean, Essence, and other things on it to go as a side with like steak...yummo

if we're in no mood to really cook.. we'll do plain pasta with
a little butter and parmesan cheese.. i think it's very good..

but i'm poor white trash.. so .. take it for what's it's worth..

I prefer pasta without the sauce. Butter, garlic, parmesan, perhaps some other grated cheeses, maybe some sauted mushrooms, and I'm in heaven.

I'm giving this a try tonight. Be back with my review later.

I just made the best spaghetti I've ever had.

I used an entire (bigger) package of mushrooms and I used crushed dundicut peppers (instead of crushed red pepper). Also I crushed an entire garlic clove (?) for the sauce. It had, you know, ground meat and noodles and other normal stuff. But the garlic and dundicuts...oh my god. My tongue is on fire.

[paskal]

Note2: Mac and Cheese is nasty. Deal with it.

You would very quickly change your mind if you had the one I had this past weekend. Made with smoked cheddar and smoked gouda - it was absofrakinlutely unbelievable!

You can never have too many mushrooms. This applies to more than just pasta (that other stuff you added sounds delicious as well).

Oh hell yes that sounds good. I had a stilton mac and cheese a few weeks ago that was also absofrakinlutely delicious.
