Baked Mac and Cheese with Bacon
Ingredients
  • subheading: To make this recipe, you'll need:
  • Large elbow macaroni: The large elbows catch more sauce for more flavor in each bite.
  • Kosher salt: Used to season the pasta water and the final dish.
  • Breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and bacon: These three ingredients form the crispy topping for the bacon mac and cheese.
  • All-purpose flour: This will be used to create the roux, the base of a thick, creamy sauce.
  • Black pepper and dry mustard: Seasonings for the roux.
  • Whole milk and buttermilk: Because you can never have too many ingredients working to make the sauce extra creamy, so instead of one milk, we use two. (But you can use all of one if you don't have the second.)
  • Butter: To help cook the flour for the roux.
  • Extra-sharp Cheddar cheese: The sharper flavor of this cheese really shines in the pasta, but you could use any type of Cheddar you like.
  • Monterey Jack (or provolone or mozzarella) cheese: All good mac and cheese recipes have more than one cheese.
