Mac and cheese, kids love it, adults love it and what’s not to love? However, it can get pretty old when the young ones ask for it every night. I find myself saying, “Again? We just had that!”
This variation lets me make it for them but enjoy a kind of adult version because it uses tortellini and smoky, crispy bacon! Plus, it’s baked in the oven and that’s the only way I like my mac and cheese because it produces those crispy cheese parts that I love. I found this a quick fix, which is great when your days are busy.
If you know how to make a white sauce, you’re golden. Use store-bought tortellini of course, and with a quick mix it’s ready to go. It’s almost like the oven does all the work for you.

Quick Tip: Pop the bacon on a pan in the oven at about 350, it will cook and crisp while you get the sauce going.
