Bleu Cheese Bacon Mac & Cheese
Bacon and Bleu cheese, and mac, I think we have a winner here! On my to cook list.
Ingredients
- 8 strips bacon, chopped, fried crispy
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 250 grams dry macaroni
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 140 grams Bleu cheese, crumbled
- 120 grams white Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, egg, salt, pepper, and cayenne until combined then set aside.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until just tender, drain, and return to pot and add the butter and reduce the temp to low, toss the pasta until the butter is melted. Pour in the milk mixture and stir until well mixed. Raise the heat to medium, stirring occasionally for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the sauce comes to a simmer.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in both cheeses until melted and mixed in, then stir in the bacon.
- Serve, garnish additional bacon and Bleu cheese if desired.
Notes
Bacon would cost about 150 Baht, the Bleu cheese about 150 Baht, and the Cheddar about 90 Baht. For 3 servings, this is about $3.82 per serving, not a cheap meal but sounds really good for a once in a while treat.
