Homemade Mac 'n Cheese

Is there anything better than homemade mac 'n cheese? As the days get colder, nothing warms your belly and your soul like a good, ooey-gooey serving of this fan favourite. We try to pretend ours is a little healthy by adding broccoli, but that's optional. What is required is bacon — if you have any leftover bacon, crisp it up and crumble it into the cheese sauce as you mix.

In our house, everyone uses a different sauce on their portion. I tend to go with Vulcan's Forge for the kick and the tang from the balsamic, but the kids have found Mango Thai Fighter is their favourite here. Don't sleep on Chili-Relentless either — although mild, the brightness and freshness adds a flavour you didn't know you needed.
