Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup

This is what was for dinner last night. I live in a house of a huge bacon fan and a huge cheese macaroni fan, so I decided to whip up this soup. A few years back I had ordered it in a cafe from back home and throroughly enjoyed it, so I decided to try and whip it up last night. It. Was. Tasty. I am going to say though that if you are lactose intollerant, this is NOT the soup for you.

Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup

1 pound hamburger
1 package of bacon
2 boxed delux macaroni and cheese (the kind where the pouches of cheese or thick cheese, not powder)
1 gallon of whole milk
1 small chopped onion
1/4 cup parmesan
1 tablespoon garlic
salt and pepper as enjoyed

First thing, cut up raw bacon into small pieces and throw in pan to fry. Once the bacon is getting good and brown, throw in the hamburger and chopped onion. As soon as the hamburger is lightly browned, pull from heat and drain the works. Next place it all in a large pot (if you have a big chili pot, now would be the time to use it) and add the milk, macaroni noodles and the garlic. Simmer on medium for a good 30-40 minutes until the noodles are tender. Stir pretty frequently though, it has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pot. Once noodles are tender, add cheese sauce and parmesan. Finally throw in a bit of salt and pepper (for me, a ton of pepper). Enjoy!!!

PS. Don't fill your bowl to the top. This is an extremely filling soup!
