Preparation
Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large pot, boil water over medium-high heat and cook macaroni until al dente. Drain and return to pot.
Add milk, butter, pepper, salt, onion, and garlic. Mix well.
Set stove to low heat, and add american cheese, cheddar cheese, and gouda. Mix until hot and melted. Stir in ¾ of the bacon then pour into prepared baking dish.
Evenly sprinkle bread crumbs over the macaroni, followed by the remaining bacon, then parmesan.Â
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and topping is browned.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
