bacon mac n cheese

1 b.pasta (I used large macaroni)
8-10 slices bacon, diced
1 Tbs butter
3 Tbs flour
2 cups milk
onion powder
garlic powder
salt
pepper
cayenne pepper
½ lb. cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c.pepper-jack cheese, shredded
1 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
whatever other cheeses you need to use up in your fridge

Boil pasta until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, cook your bacon. When the bacon is done, transfer to a paper towl and let drain. Save about 2 Tbsp of the grease and add the butter. When the butter is melted, whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in milk in a thin stream. Add your seasonings. Bring to boil and let thicken. In large bowl, toss together all the cheeses. When the milk mixture is thickened (not too thick, think a chowder consistency) remove from heat, and add about 1½ c. of the cheese. Toss the bacon with remaining cheese. Combine cooked pasta and cheese sauce. Pour half into a 9x13 greased pan. Sprinkle w/ a generous cup of bacon-cheese mixture. Repeat. Bake at 350degs for about 20-25 minutes. Turn the broiler on for the last few minutes until the top is browned.
