Nikki's Bacon Mac n Cheese

For years the only, and best, mac n cheese i ever made was my grandmas, but during a move my special Pyrex casserole for making it was lost (sob), so i didnt even try to make it. Then i came upon the Progresso cheese sauce with a recipe for bacon mac n cheese and couldn't resist, but of course by the time i was done tweaking it, it was something totally my own! and ALMOST as good as my grandmas...lol
