We used to have a lady come around the bar once a month selling cheese. She was called the cheese lady for obvious reasons. She sold a bacon cheese that made the best mac and cheese. Yums! It melted perfectly.

If you can't find a similar cheese, you could try chopping up some cooked bacon and adding a little of the bacon grease into it as well.

Being a Wisconsinite we have a wide selection of cheeses. I have had bacon cheese before and know where to get some (Simons in Little Chute for you locals.). Great suggestion!

The Wife (aka Pork Puller) makes this about twice a year during Holidays. It's Good but you and your heart should proceed at your own risk.

Hands down the best macaroni and cheese in the world is Emeril's. I make it all the time and it is one of my favorite dishes ever. It can get pricey because of the cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano, fontina, gruyere, and cheddar), but so worth it. I use Barilla elbows because it has the ridges to help the cheese stick.

I've made this recipe from emeril and it was great. Best flavor of any mac n cheese i've ever done.
