Three cheese baked mac and cheese with a potato chip topping

Cook the bacon about 60% of the way; add diced yellow onion and cook until soft and translucent while the bacon finishes. Remove from the pan and let the pan cool a bit.

Melt butter, add flour and whisk; add milk slowly, whisking well to avoid lumps.

Add a little smoked paprika.

Add the cheddar, mozzarella and Colby Jack a little at a time, mixing as you go so the cheese does not become one solid block; add garlic powder.

Add the pasta and the bacon and onions; kill the heat and mix.

Transfer to a sprayed casserole dish and bake 15 minutes at 375.

Crush sour cream and onion potato chips, mix with a small handful of shredded mozzarella, spread over the top and push in slightly; bake another 15 minutes.
