What a lovely recipe Lazyme, thank you so much for sharing it. This simple dish was quick and easy to make with terrific results. A happier hubby I could not find. Really! Macaroni, tender potatoes, delicious sauce, cheese and bacon...need I say more. It was the perfect comfort food for this snowy day. I did make this recipe as written but used extra old cheddar cheese. The fried onions are the perfect topping for this very satisfying dish. Made FYC Tag Game.

Delicious!! Comfort food at it's best and definitely going in our regular rotation for dreary days in my easy to make cookbook, especially for the winter. The boys both wanted me to give this lovely meal 45 billion stars but alas we are restricted to five very well deserved stars. I realised part way into making it that I was out of swiss cheese so used a mixture of old cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan regiano. Also low on cream I did half milk and half plain balkan style yogurt and a half pound of bacon. I baked it for 15 minutes rather than 10 and it was perfect. Served with warm spiced & creamy applesauce as the Swiss herdsman are said to do. Thank you for posting this lovely recipe lazyme! Made and thoroughly enjoyed for team Mischief Makers - ZWT#7, Switzerland.
