Ingredients: [{"text": "4 slices bacon"}, {"text": "1 large sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced"}, {"text": "1 1/2 cups dried elbow macaroni (6 ounces, regular or multi grain)"}, {"text": "2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)"}, {"text": "4 ounces processed gruyere cheese, shredded or 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled"}, {"text": "1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup light cream"}, {"text": "1/8 teaspoon black pepper"}]
Instructions: In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, turning once. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet. 
Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings for 5 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender and golden brown. Set aside. 
In a large saucepan cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and return to saucepan. Stir in the crumbled bacon, onions, 1-1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the gruyere cheese, half-and half, and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Spoon into a 1-1/2-quart casserole.
