Instructions
1 Boil pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
- Add the macaroni.
- Boil for 8 min or until 'al dente'.
- Drain.
2 Prep
- Grate the mature cheddar and Parmesan.
- Chop the beef bacon into small bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the bacon for 6-8 min until crispy.
- Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Tip! Retain the bacon grease for adding to the cheese sauce for an extra bacony flavour.
3 Make sauce
- Heat a separate pot over medium heat with the butter and flour.
- Cook, stirring, for 1 min or until a sandy paste has formed.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cook for 5 min or until thickened.
- Mix in the vegetable seasoning, garlic onion powder, dijon mustard, mature cheddar, orange cheddar and half of the Parmesan.
Tip! The sauce is thick when it coats the back of a spoon.
4 Grill
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Add the cooked macaroni and cooked bacon to the sauce pot.
- Mix to combine with the sauce and season with black pepper to taste.
- Transfer to an oven-proof baking dish.
- Top with the panko bread crumbs and the remaining Parmesan.
- Place under the grill for 5-8 min until golden and bubbling.
Tip! Don't have a grill, bake the mac and cheese in the oven at 180°C for 10-15 min until the top is golden.
5 Make salad
- In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper (make the dressing in a separate small box if consuming later).
- Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the tomatoes in half.
- Chop the cucumber into small bite-sized pieces.
- Place the salad in the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing.
Tip! If cooking for kids, leave some of the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber separate.
6 Serve
- Serve the Bacon Mac and Cheese with the Side Salad alongside.
Tip! If serving for kids, serve with the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber separated on the side.
