Mac & Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and Guinness, stirring constantly until thickened.

  3. 3

    Add Cheeses

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar, Monterey Jack, and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined. If using, fold in the crumbled bacon.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional cheese or bacon on top.
