I love macaroni and cheese, especially the mass produced version that you often find in buffets. So I’m always on the lookout for a good mac and cheese recipe. A little while ago, I forget where, the idea of Mac & Cheese started bouncing around in the house and I knew I had to make it.

This is my absolute favourite mac and cheese recipe. Even though I'm slightly allergic to cheese.

This was adapted from an old cook-book I found in the basement; give it a try and let me know your thoughts on it!

I usually add a little bit more breadcrumbs on than the recipe calls for, but I'm slightly obsessed with Panko I think!

Ingredients

1 (16-oz.) package penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of half and half
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Toppings

1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease a baking dish.
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Strain in cold water then set aside.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Pat dry with paper towels.
Add 1 tablespoons butter to the pan and then add in milk. Whisk together and slowly add in flour.
Add the cornstarch to the half and half and whisk until smooth. Slowly add it to skillet followed by mustard and garlic powder.
Cook sauce for a few more minutes, until it begins to slightly thicken. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
Crumble bacon and add on top of pasta in the pan. Toss evenly to combine.
Pour the mixture into your greased baking dish.
Add panko and butter mixture on top of the pasta.
Bake for 20 minutes.
