Hot Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon

Ingredients:
8 slices thick-out bacon
2 cups elbow macaroni (dry)
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 oz. gruyere, grated
salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese


Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Butter a medium-size baking dish. Cook the macaroni until crispy. Drain on paper towels. When cool, cut or break into small pieces. Cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain well. Mix the cream, milk, bacon, nutmeg, and about 1/3 of the Gruyere in a large bowl. Add the macaroni and mix. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the macaroni mixture to the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyere on top. Then sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake for about 20 minutes.
