Once cheese is melted...add your macaroni and remove from heat. Transfer the macaroni mixture into a buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle your remaining ingredients, 1/2 cup cheese, parmesan, bread crumbs/cheez it crackers, french fried onions and bacon on top. Then cut your butter pieces (2 TBLS) on top of the topping placing it evenly across. Bake at 400 degrees uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes. (Depending on your level of crispy topping.) Serve and enjoy!
