BACON Mac and Cheese ๐ค
* Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
* Add the heavy cream in splashes, stirring continuously. Donโt add it too quickly or the roux will break. Add the milk in the same manner.
* Add the mustard powder, thyme, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
* Cook the Pasta until just al dente (refer to package instructions), donโt overcook. Drain.
* Reduce the heat of the sauce to low and let the base cool slightly. Gradually sprinkle in the cheese, stirring continuously until incorporated. Add the caramelized onions, then the drained pasta. Use a silicone spatula to stir until combined.
* Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle it over the mac and cheese. You may stir some of it in as well.
* Garnish with parsley and serve!
