Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 (1 pound) loaf processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
2 cups tomato juice
¼ cup butter
1 pound bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta is slightly under-cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
  • Combine the processed cheese, tomato juice, and butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until melted and smooth. Mix the pasta into the cheese sauce; stir well. Transfer macaroni and cheese to the prepared baking dish. Top with the raw bacon slices.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the bacon is cooked and crisped, about 30 minutes.
