Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni

---

I came up with this combination after making recipe #94597 and having a lot of meat left (i didn't put all of it in the shells because only two of us were home at the time). i was afraid that i'd end up throwing out the meat so i decided to make bacon cheeseburger macaroni. hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!!
