Directions
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain off fat leaving about 1 tablespoon drippings in the pot.
Sauté jalapeno. Add milk and cheeses to pot; cook and stir until blended.
Stir in the onion powder, chili powder, black pepper and red pepper sauce.
Add the cooked bacon and reserved pasta to pan; mix well.
Transfer to a greased casserole dish.
Cover and bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 20 minutes.
Uncover; bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until heated through and crispy on top and bubbling.
Each serving should be about 1 cup.
