How to Make Mac ‘N Cheese Bacon Cups

Mac and cheese is a college staple. Hell, it’s a life staple. But that also means powdered cheese and noodle mush can get quite boring when you make it on the regular.

Enter: bomb-ass bacon cups.

No, this is not a drill. It’s possible to turn mac ‘n cheese into a spicy sushi roll complete with bacon, Sriracha and goat cheese with a little help from my friend Leo DiCaprio.
