Creamy Four Cheese Bacon Mac & Cheese

Spread the love

Macaroni and Cheese is one of the best dishes ever invented. There’s no point in arguing with me. I know I’m right. Lol!
Who wouldn’t want pasta noodles covered in a creamy cheese sauce? It’s the best!

I usually make southern baked Mac and Cheese, which bakes with an egg mixed in. The texture is much more firmer, and holds together better. This time, I wanted to go creamy, so I decided to cook it without the egg and on top of the stove first. Then it finishes off in the oven.

I also didn’t make a butter and flour roux. I wanted the sauce to be all cheese and extra rich & creamy.
So I threw in 4 cheeses and added some crumbly bacon into the mix. So, hold on to your socks and enjoy this scrumptious cheesy side dish!
