I'm pretty sure I can survive on the stuff! It has just always been a favorite of mine. Kraft, homemade, any kind and I would eat it.
I even use to have "Mac n cheese parties" with friends. I would make Mac n cheese and they would come over and play games. It was a great arrangement!
When I made homemade Mac n cheese it makes me feel a little better about this addiction of mine.
Anyways, I love this recipe. It is so yummy and its so easy!
The timing of everything is usually really perfect when I make this so I try to stick to my order.
Preheat your oven to 325.
I start with putting water on the stove and I add the noodles to it right away instead of waiting for it to boil or get hot. Then I just stir those occasionally while I make the sauce!
While the noodles are cooking I start right away with melting the butter. I try to get the flour and milk already measured out and sitting next to me so I don't have to worry about anything burning.
While I wait for that to boil, I measure out the cheese, salt, and get the garlic ready.
I also usually toast some bread to use for bread crumbs. If I do that, then I start the toast now so it can cool by the time I'm ready to add it on top of the noodles.
Once I add the cheese, salt, and garlic the noodles are usually about done cooking. I strain them and put them in a dish.
When the cheese is all melty in the sauce I add chopped bacon. Oh yeah, did I mention that I add bacon to this...because it's freaking amazing!)
Then just pour the sauce on top of the noodles and make sure it gets mixed around a bit so it gets over all of the noodles.
Add breadcrumbs, more cheese... anything you want on top of this.
The oven is usually preheated by now so I put it in the oven, set my timer and wait the long 20 minutes until I get to eat this!
Doesn't it look so good even before you bake it?!
This one received a 9/10 on the Josh scale and is still one of our favorites!
Enjoy:)
