Broccoli Bacon Mac n' cheese


This recipe is a different version of my Creamy Bacon Mac N Cheese. I make my own creamy cheese sauce. My kids love macaroni and cheese and usually when I make it's for the kids. This one is more has more "grown" up flavor in it, chopped red onions, chopped parsley and healthy veggies like broccoli. This is tasty for kids as well as for adults, smuthered in a creamy cheese sauce and lets not forget the yummy bacon. My familys favorite dish, upgraded! I hope you all enjoy.
