Spicy Bacon Mac and Cheese

I love things that are full of whimsy and the unexpected. I wouldn't say that I'm particularly 'adventurous' (Everest holds no appeal and I don't even like sushi), but I like things that make you laugh and smile because you weren't expecting it. Like this song:

It is SO bizarre that it makes me laugh and I appreciate that. I don't know if that really translates into my cooking all that often, but I think in this instance it does.

Spicy Bacon Mac and Cheese

1/4 c. butter

1/8 c. bacon bits

1/8 c. flour

1 c. milk

1 c. cream

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

dash of black pepper

1 tsp regular yellow mustard

2 1/2 c. cheddar cheese

Fried bread crumbs (saute bread crumbs in butter until crispy) 

Cooked macaroni noodles (you'll have to eyeball how much, I didn't measure...)

Melt butter in medium sauce pan then add bacon and flour. Fry for a minute before adding milk, cream, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Stir on medium heat until sauce thickens then drop heat to low and add mustard and 2 1/4 c. cheddar cheese. Stir until completely mixed and then mix in macaroni noodles. Divvy up between as many ramekins as you want and sprinkle with cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake at 375F for 15 minutes and then enjoy!
