Cheese Sauce

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir to form a roux. Gradually whisk in milk, continue stirring until thickened. Add cheddar cheese, truffle oil, salt, and pepper, stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

  2. 2

    Cook the Macaroni

    While the sauce is thickening, cook macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Macaroni and Sauce

    Mix cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce until evenly coated. Transfer to a baking dish.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet, melt butter and add bread crumbs, stirring until golden brown. Mix in parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Top and Bake

    Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumb mixture over the macaroni and cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

  6. 6

    Add Bacon (Optional)

    If using, sprinkle crumbled bacon on top before serving.
