Craving mac and cheese with a little something extra? This is no average mac! Smothered in an ultra savory cheddar cheese sauce (with cream cheese, heavy cream, and lots of cheddar), this elbow macaroni is topped with extra crispy bacon, scallions, and more shredded cheddar for good measure. This dish packs all the ooey gooey goodness of classic mac with all your favorite loaded baked potato toppings. Now that’s the best of both worlds!
