Title: Macaroni & Cheese w/Bacon & Blue Cheese
Categories: Pasta, Pork, Cheese, Vegetables, Dairy
Yield: 4 Servings
1 tb Unsalted butter; more for
- greasing
4 oz Bacon; chopped
1 sm Onion; fine chopped
2 tb A-P flour
2 c Whole milk
4 oz Blue cheese; crumbled
Salt & freshly ground pepper
8 oz Elbow macaroni or tubular
- pasta
Chives; for garnish (opt)
Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Butter 4 small soufflé dishes or a shallow 1 1/2 quart
gratin dish.
Heat the 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over
moderate heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp and
browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer
the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, 6
to 8 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring until
smooth, about 1 minute. Add the milk and cook over
moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until
thickened, about 10 minutes. Add all but 1/4 cup of the
blue cheese and stir until smooth and melted. Season
with salt and pepper, and keep the sauce warm over very
low heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan of boiling well-salted
water, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain well and add
the pasta to the cheese sauce, stirring well to coat.
Stir in the reserved bacon.
Divide the macaroni and cheese between the soufflé
dishes or pour into the gratin dish, then top with the
remaining blue cheese.
Bake until golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
Garnish with snipped or finely chopped chives before
serving, if desired.
