Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the grated Castello® Extra Mature Cheddar, half the crisp bacon and Castello® Burger Blue.

Stir in the cooked elbow macaroni and pour into a greased pan. Top with the rest of the bacon and Castello® Burger Blue.

Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until the cheese takes on a bit of color.

This mouth-watering side dish is easy to prepare in advance and reheat for a big party.
