Mac N Cheese Supreme

I'm getting the impression that my love of kitchen-experimentation is getting in the way of my healthy eating obsession...

Came home from work late today, and totally exhausted.  The last thing I wanted to do was cook.  But...a girl's gotta eat.  And after some time relaxing in the sunshine with the pony, I worked up enough energy to cook.  And this is the result. 

cook 1 lb ground beef in sauce

cook 1 lb pasta

cheese sauce : milk, heavy cream, flour, ranch, shredded cheese

 cook 4 slices of bacon

 layer #1

layer #2

layer #3

layer #4

bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

dinner is served

oh, and since I didn't start cooking until late...here's the salad I ate to tide me over
