Tas, Ciao,
This is a chow down dish. Your´s sounds good too. Bacon or Pancetta provide the contrasting flavors and aromas to the cream sauce, or in your case, 4 cheese sauce.
Thanks for your feedback.
Enjoy,
Marge.

That looks excellent, Margi -
I make a similar "easy" version all the time with pre-made 4-cheese sauce, but it never occurred to me to add bacon, which makes ANYTHING better ~
i definitely will try!
