===== Directions =====
  - Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until a little less than al dente.
  - Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain the pasta again.
  - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  - Cook the bacon in a frying pan over high heat until crispy, about 8 minutes.
  - Remove extra grease by patting the strips with a paper towel, and then cut into bite-size pieces.
  - Add the sauce and cheese to a large, heavy-bottomed pot and cook over medium heat. Stir until the cheese is barely melted, about 3 minutes.
  - Add the bacon and stir to combine.
  - Slowly add the cooked pasta, stir, and continue cooking while stirring continuously until the dish is nice and hot, another 5 minutes.
  - Spoon the mac and cheese into 4 individual, 5-inch-diameter ovenproof bowls.
  - Sprinkle the panko evenly on top of each bowl.
  - Bake until bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  - While the macs are cooking, fry the eggs: Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  - Crack 2 of the eggs into the pan, cover, and let cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes. The eggs are done when all the egg white is completely opaque, and the yolk is still nice and bright.
  - Slide the eggs onto a plate and repeat with the remaining tablespoon of butter and 2 eggs.
  - Remove the macs from the oven, and slide a fried egg on top of each one.
  - Top each egg with some black 
pepper. Serve immediately.
