Steps:

• Microwave sweet corn according to package directions. Cook bacon in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
• Add cooked corn to skillet. Cook until corn is lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in water, evaporated milk, butter, uncooked macaroni, salt, and mustard; bring to a boil.
• Boil, uncovered, until pasta is al dente and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4ths of the Cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses. Top mac and cheese with remaining Cheddar, pepper Jack and Parmesan cheeses. Sauce will continue to thicken as it stands.
• Adjust oven rack so it’s about 8-inches from the broiler and heat broiler to high. Broil mac and cheese until top is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Top mac and cheese with bacon and broil about 30 seconds more to re-crisp the bacon.
• Garnish smoky sweet corn mac and cheese with green onion and serve!
