Kreeb Posted October 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banks822 Posted October 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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!!

Its a slice laid across the top...easy to remove :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted October 11, 2011 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Reading the recipe it sounds like there is a slice on top, but more bacon incorporated into the pasta/cream sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theneals4 Posted October 11, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted October 11, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2011 OMG all that fat????? Can you order more than one PLate at a time?:D I have two dishes that I want to try on the upcoming cruise-this was one of them, the other is the pasta carbonera. (i think that's what they call it.)

Chigirlcruzin Posted October 11, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Maybe it was a bad batch, but I found the bacon mac & cheese very bland. I love gouda, so I was really disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetravel Posted October 11, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This was really good! Had it on the Pride a couple of weeks ago (has it been that long???) I thought that it had bacon in it as well, but I can not remember. I better book another cruise so I can find out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted October 11, 2011 #21 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfb4cruzing Posted October 11, 2011 #22 Share Posted October 11, 2011 recipe says to "add bacon to macaroni". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMM34667 Posted October 11, 2011 #23 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Before reading that recipe I wouldn't have even considered trying it. But now I will (I'll order it to share with the table... not to replace my entree). Sounds really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmom32 Posted October 12, 2011 #24 Share Posted October 12, 2011 We went to a very well known expensive steakhouse and u know what they had Mac n cheese as a side dish..how does this relate to Carnival being called the Walmart of the Seas which by the way I find Hysterical....

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
