>How would doing what I imagine you have in mind here which is taking a block of cheddar cheese and adding it to macaroni going to make it "greasy?"
Because when you bake it, the cheese will seperate with an oily layer and clump up. This is why mac and cheese is typically made with a cheese sauce to emulsify the fat in the cheese. Unless you're using kraft or some garbage in which case your dish isn't worth eating. A breadcrumb topping gives it a nice crunch, and can stop the cheese sauce and pasta burning before its cooked, graham cracker + bacon is just an alternative to a breadcrumb topping with a little more flavor.

Bacon and pasta is a pretty common combination, crushed graham crackers have a similar texture to browned breadcrumbs, so what is out of place here?
>But mac and cheese should only have mac and cheese in it
Whatever premade trash you're "cooking" like kraft or velveeta is filled with preservatives, emulsifiers, dehydrated milk, etc. So not just mac and cheese.
