While the oven preheats, cook the bacon in a pan and drain the grease. Set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter and add the flour, cooking the mixture for about 60 seconds while stirring. Add the half and half and allow the mixture to boil over high heat while stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture has thickened, fold in the cheese and add the seasoning and sour cream. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted into a smooth sauce.
Combine the cooked pasta, lobster, bacon, and cheese sauce. Add the lobster mac and cheese to a casserole dish and top with extra shredded cheese (optional). Bake for 20-22 minutes at 400F or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

For an ultra-creamy lobster mac and cheese dish, add less pasta or increase the cheese sauce.
Add more cheese to the sauce and sprinkle cheese on top of the casserole for an extra cheesy lobster macaroni.
Always use freshly grated cheese, as it melts and tastes better than store-bought pre-shredded cheese.
Don’t cook the pasta all the way through, as it will continue cooking in the oven.
Pasta is known for absorbing sauce in storage. Add extra sauce to reheated leftovers, or loosen the mac and cheese on the stovetop with a little milk.
