Macaroni and Cheese

Method

Macaroni and Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Add Toppings

    In individual serving bowls, place a generous portion of the macaroni and cheese. Top with crumbled bacon, pulled pork, a drizzle of sweet datil sauce, and chopped green onions.

  2. 7
