Lobster-Bacon Macaroni and Cheese
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until cooked through but still slightly firm, 8 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and dice.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Stir Cheddar cheese soup, Cheddar cheese, and milk together in a bowl. Stir the pasta, bacon, and lobster into the soup mixture. Pour the pasta mixture into a 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.

  5. 5

    Mix bread crumbs and butter together in a separate bowl; sprinkle over the pasta mixture.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and the bread crumbs are lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
