Bacon Alfredo Pasta Casserole

Bacon Alfredo Pasta Casserole is a wonderful, simple, and make-ahead recipe perfect for a family dinner or entertaining. It's like Spaghetti Carbonara or Fettuccine Alfredo, but made in a large pan to feed a crowd. And it's actually richer than those two recipes because the sauce is made with cream cheese in addition to a white sauce.

Cut this wonderful recipe into squares to serve with a green salad and a glass of white wine. Serve this dish on a cold winter night, or for a holiday dinner party. It's that good.
