Cook bacon in large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat until almost crisp. Stir in flour and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Mix together pasta and sauce in large bowl. Fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar and all of diced cheddar until well combined. Transfer mixture to lightly buttered 13x9-inch baking pan.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
