- .SK 1
- Cook the bacon until it is very crisp. When done, blot dry.
- .SK 2
- Put the butter in a small frying pan and heat at a low
- temperature until it's melted.
- When melted, add the bread crumbs and saut\z\(aae until the bread
- crumbs are browned, stirring frequently to avoid burning the crumbs.
- .SK 3
- Boil the macaroni in water according to directions on the
- package. Don't overcook ... it should be ``al dente''.
- A little olive oil added to the pot will help prevent the macaroni from
- sticking together.
- .SK 4
- While the macaroni is cooking, grate the cheese and chop the scallions.
- .SK 5
- When the macaroni is done, drain it in a colander.
- The ``assembly'' is done in layers into a glass baking dish.
- Put a layer of macaroni on the bottom, then cheese,
- the crumble bacon and scallions on top of this.
- Make the layers thin; this way, you can
- get about three pasta/cheese/bacon layers.
- When all of these are in the pan, top with the bread crumbs and
- bake at
- .TE 325 160
- for 20 minutes or until the bread crumbs are a little
- more browned and the cheese is melted.
- .SK 6
- Eat. However, it makes fantastic leftovers, so you won't want to eat it all.

- Cooking the bacon in the oven or in a microwave works well for this recipe.
- I find the best way to dry the bacon is to put a couple of
- paper towels on top of an old brown paper bag, then the bacon,
- and then a couple more paper towels on top of that, and then just
- pat with the hand a few times. It's important to get the bacon dry or the
- casserole will be too greasy.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 20\-30 minutes preparation, 20 minutes cooking.
