  • 2 cups milk
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 cups grated tasty cheese
  • 2 cups Diamond macaroni elbows, cooked
  • 1/2 cup chopped bacon, cooked

Method :

  • Melt butter in a saucepan/pot.
  • Add onion and cook until clear.
  • Stir in flour and cook until frothy.
  • Add the mustard.
  • Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until the sauce boils and thickens. Remove from the heat.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in half the cheese.
  • Add the cooked macaroni and bacon, stirring to combine.
  • Pour mixture into an oven-proof dish.
  • Sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 190oC for 20 minutes or until golden and heated through.
