Odd (but reasonable) things to add to mac&cheese

Chunks or sliced.

Because, bacon!

Prepared any way you like it.

To make it totally healthy.

Our son made mac & cheese for Thanksgiving... more like cheese & mac. It was very good, but had to work to find the mac.

I'd use grilled, but any would work.

Mashup of the two, since they tend to be served together.

Once in a long while, I want some Spaghetti-O's (comfort food from when I was a kid). I'll add a bit of butter and shredded cheddar. Why not just mix some into the mac & cheese? Will remember to do this next time.

Just like Hamburger Helper from my youth. But hopefully better.

Sliced or chunk.
