Step 3
Microwave the sauce uncovered on HI. Stop and whisk every 30 seconds, for 3 minutes, until smooth and thickening. Whisk the 12 oz cheese into the sauce until melted. Taste test and add more salt/fat/pepper/mustard/cheese as desired.
Step 4
Meanwhile cook the macaroni according to the box directions. Drain well and stir the macaroni, bacon, and veggies into the cheese sauce until well blended. Scatter shredded cheese, bacon pieces, and cracker crumbs evenly over the top.

Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until browned and bubbling.
