Mac and cheese

The cook, step by step.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Done

   You start by melting the butter in 1 pan and in another pan you warm up the milk. Once the butter is completely melted, add the flour. You stir this constantly until it becomes a smooth emulsion. Once the milk is warmed you add this little by little already stirring to the butter/flour mixture. During stirring, bring your macaroni to the boil in a large pan. Cook this macaroni according to the preparation method on the package but scrape about 2 minutes of the total preparation time. You do this because you will stir the macaroni later with the cheese mixture and then cook it even further.

   Step 2

   Done

   At the moment when the milk/butter/flour combination has been boiled in and a little thicker the time has come to add both types of cheese and herbs. Do this moving and keep it moving enough. Of course, we do not want the cheese to stick at the bottom of the pan. You also bake the bacon in a separate pan. We always like that you have a bite in the final dish so this can be baked a little crispy. Add these bacon to the cheese sauce after baking.

   Done

   After the whole is stirred well you can serve it. Mac and Cheese is one of those dishes that actually comes out even better if it's been in the fridge for a night. It'll just get a little more juicy. We hope that the above dish looks as good to you as we do! Serve it with, for example, a roll of pulled pork which is really a worldly combination!
