Becky’s Utterly Divine Macaroni and Cheese

I confessed to my husband that it’s hard to be humble about this one. LOL. I mean… copious amounts of ooey-gooey creamy luxury, with large chunks of freshly fried bacon, topped with crunchy parmesan and crispy french fried onions. It’ll make your taste buds dance!

Ingredients

  

• 2 Boxes Shells & Cheese
• 1 Pound Bacon
• 4 Cups Milk
• 4 Cups Mild Shredded Cheddar
• 5 Tbsp Butter
• 1 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Pepper
• 4 TBSP Flour
• Parmesan
• 1 Bag French Fried Onions

Instructions

 

• Boil the pasta. Set the cheese packets aside. While pasta is cooking, fry the bacon.
• Strain the pasta. (You'll rinse later! It's best to wait until just before you mix the sauce and pasta together, because they have a tendency to clump, and you may need to "unclump" them.)
• In a pot, add the butter, milk, shredded cheese, the sauce packets from the shells and cheese, salt and pepper. Mix over heat until everything is melted.
• Whisk while you sprinkle the flour in slowly (to avoid clumps). Stir constantly until the sauce reaches a full boil, then remove from heat.
• Pour freshly rinsed/unclumped pasta and the sauce into a large casserole dish. Tear up the bacon you've cooked in large chunks and throw it in. Mix it all together.
• Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, or until the parmesan cheese is golden brown.
• Add a generous layer of French Fried Onions before serving.
• Eat and ascend to glorious heights 🙂
