This sounds truly delicious, my husbands all time favorite is mac&cheese, I will definitely try this next time. .....:)


What is it about sprinkling crushed potato chips over the top of mac and cheese that makes it even BETTER?!? This has some great seasoning, blue - I've printed it and will try next time I make mac and cheese (which is a lot in this cold weather - it's such good comfort food!)...thank you...Krum

Hi, I'm back to tell you that I made this last night, and it came out really good! I especially loved that bacon-potato chip topping! Next time I think I will stir in some additional bacon pieces into the dish, as I liked the taste of it with macaroni. Added 2 pics under your main one, hope that's OK. Also, added this to the "I made it" group.


Wow! I can tell this is amazing! Thanks Juels, for posting this in the group! And thanks Blue, for this delicious recipe! Saving this one!


Wow.. I had to check this out based on Julias review in the I Made It Group... Certainly glad I did. This looks awesome. Thanks for the pics Julia. I only have one question, what is everyone else going to eat?? It looks like there is just about enough up there for me....;-)~~
