1 lb Elbow Macaroni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain. .
6 strips Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
3 tbsp Flour
2 tablespoon Butter
1 1/2 cups Milk
1 cup Caramelized Onions
1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese grated
1 cup White Cheddar grated
4 oz Cream Cheese

In a saucepan cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserve drippings in saucepan.

Add and melt 2 tablespoons butter in same saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Whisk in the milk, and stir until thick, about 2 minutes.
This combination of a flour and a fat is called a roux. Also, Carla says if you want a healthier version use skim milk. Whisk in the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, then whisk in the cream cheese until smooth.
The cream cheese keeps the pasta moist.

Stir in caramelized onions, bacon and pasta. .

2 cups Breadcrumbs

1 tbsp Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a skillet over medium heat, combine all ingredients for breadcrumbs. Allow to toast. .
