Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4-6 slice bacon, cut into small pieces
1 box pasta (shells work best, but any short pasta will do)
4 Tbsp butter
1 c milk
2 Tbsp flour
2 c shredded cheese
------ chopped/shredded cooked chicken (however much you like)

Steps:

  • 1. Set oven to low broil.
  • 2. In small saute pan, brown the chopped bacon. Do not drain off grease.
  • 3. In large pot, bring water to rolling boil and add pasta. Cook pasta according to directions.
  • 4. In a small pot, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and make a paste, add the milk and stir until mix is creamy smooth. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  • 5. Add the drained pasta to the bacon, stir well. This adds a nice crispy texture to the pasta. Stir the cheese mix and chopped chicken into the bacon and pasta. Pour into a greased casserole dish.
  • 6. Broil until top is browned. Enjoy!
