Brown ground beef in a 12 inch skillet with tall sides. Remove any fat.

Once the mixture is boiling, add macaroni and stir. Cover and allow the macaroni to cook in the mixture for 8-9 minutes or until the macaroni is cooked through.

Remove lid and stir in all but one piece of sliced bacon {reserve the last piece for the toppings}. Top with cheese and cover until the cheese is completely melted {2-3 minutes}.
