Smoked Gouda and Bacon Mac N Cheese with a side of Parm Green Beans

 

Here are the ingredients and the quick instructions :)

 

 I used Soy milk and a lactose free sharp cheddar... unfortunately they don't make Gouda in a lactose free form.

 It was a TON of cheese.... the shredding took a good 15 minutes.
I put half of the bacon into the melted cheese mixture and half of the bacon into the bread crumbs. This gives you a great crispy topping and delicious cheese. But if you do this, half your salt in the sauce.

 

When you've sprinkled your bread crumbs on top of your pasta, put it in the oven for about 30 minutes or until your crumbs are crispy.

At the same time I made green beans. Trim all of the edges and put on cookie sheets. 

 Sprinkle olive oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 Tbsp chopped garlic, and 1 tsp pepper on the green beans.
Throw those into the oven and 425F for 8 minutes, shake the pan around, then another 8 minutes. Take them out and put in a baking dish, sprinkle with parm cheese, and put back into the oven at 350F for 5 minutes.
