Scallop and Bacon Mac N' Cheese

Scallop and Bacon Mac N' Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 1 pound bay scallops
  • 1 (1 pound) package bacon
  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed Cheddar cheese soup
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute scallops until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove skillet from heat.
  3. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; roughly crumble.
  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  5. Mix Cheddar cheese soup, Cheddar cheese, milk, and garlic salt together in a bowl. Add scallops, bacon, and pasta; mix well. Pour pasta mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  6. Stir bread crumbs and butter together in a bowl; sprinkle over pasta mixture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and topping is lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
