Easy Stovetop Mac and Cheese with Bacon – #15MinuteSuppers

Joining the fifteen minute supper group has been so fun for me!

This week, I learned how to make homemade mac and cheese. It is super easy. If I can do it – you can, too! I am absolutely a beginner cook. I still have a long way to go, but if I come up with something that my family eats and likes – I will absolutely share it with you.

Pre-Heat your oven to 375 degrees and start your water boiling for the pasta.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter.

Add the flour slowly until completely mixed with the butter.

By now, your oven should be pre-heated, so get that bacon in there! Check your water and start boiling that pasta.

Now, add your milk and cheese to the butter / flour mixture about 1/4 cup at a time. You will magically see this amazing yummy cheese sauce appear. Use a fork to keep on whisking everything together.

Drain your pasta. Pull out your bacon.

Nope, I didn’t add any salt because the bacon did a nice job of that for me.

Replace the pasta in the bowl. Add the cheese sauce to the pasta and stir. Try not to sit down on the floor and start eating without your family.

Cut your bacon. Spoon mac and cheese into bowls. Sprinkle bacon on top. Yell at your kids to get the drinks and voila! Fifteen minutes!

The kids all liked it (that is 3 out of 3). My husband, who does not usually like mac and cheese, had seconds! What?!
