Scallop and Bacon Mac N' Cheese

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pork Recipes. (Scallop and Bacon Mac N' Cheese). This is something I threw together and it turned out fantastic! The flavor of the bacon, along with the scallops, mixes so well with mac and cheese. A perfect combo! Add vegetables for a healthier kick. I like throwing in some steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
