Searching for a complete meal that’s packed with flavor and comfort and cheese-y, garlic-y goodness? Look no further!!

For the mac and cheese, I used a recipe from foodnetwork.com as a base, but made quite a few changes. You can find the original recipe here.

For the garlic knots, you can use your favorite recipe, or purchase some from your local bakery/grocery store!

I’m sure that there are other recipes out there that are very similar, as we have been finding ways to incorporate bacon into our meals since the invention of bacon. However, this one is mine, and I hope you enjoy!  Continue reading →
