Just completed our 27th on Carnival Dream and wanted to rave about one of the new menu items. I think it's under "Comfort Food", on the last night of the 7 day menu.

 

It's called Bacon Mac n Cheese. It comes with a chicken breast on top which we skipped because we just wanted to share it as a side dish to our Prime Rib.

 

It is made with Gouda Cheese and is incredibly creamy and tasty with the combo of the bacon and Gouda Cheese. It is simply heavenly and is now a must have on all of our future cruises. if you like good Mac n Cheese and especially Gouda cheese you must try it....I'm salivating just thinking about it . Enjoy!!!

I love homemade mac and cheese so I was really excited when I heard about this!! My only problem is that I don't eat pork (or beef). Is the bacon all through the macaroni or just sprinkled on top? I am hoping that I can try this if the bacon can easily be picked off the top!!

Reading the recipe it sounds like there is a slice on top, but more bacon incorporated into the pasta/cream sauce.

 

Hmm I saw that too...but on mine it was just on top. Trust me if it was in there I'd find it lol! ;)

The Bacon Mac and Cheese is SOOOO good!! The only thing i wasnt very fond of in the MDR was the pumpkin and cheese pot pie thing. The pasty was SOOO good, but the stuff inside not so much. The waitress told me that she was very surprised the veggies inside were not cut up more. She asked if i would like something else. i thought that was very thoughtful and professional of her. But by that time, i was full!

I think I just gained 10 lbs. reading the recipe! I didn't try it on my last cruise, but may try it as a side dish on my next.

Sorry, think this might be the previous Mac n Cheese recipe....the one I am referring to specifically on the menu that it is made with Gouda Cheese only.

Somehow, mac&cheese hasn't any appeal to me when I'm dining out....or when I'm dining in too, for that matter. Happy that some people like it, but then I don't understand the objections when CCL is nicknamed the Walmart of Cruising.

And some people like fish and some don't so i don't know why your knocking people for liking it? Although i never had Mac n Cheese for a meal this has chicken breast on top with bacon. Sounds good to me plus i won't complain like you till i try it:D
