Grant’s Apple Bacon Cheddar Mac
Ingredients
- 1 pound shell pasta
- 8 ounces bacon, chopped
- 4 cups cheese sauce
- 2 pink lady apples, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- A few sprigs of thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
- 1 cup store-bought fried onions
- 1 cup smoked cheddar cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt liberally and cook the pasta two minutes shy of al dente. (It’s ok if the pasta is a little under cooked, the pasta will continue to cook as it bakes.) Drain the pasta then return it to the pot and reserve.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the mac ’n cheese is brown and bubbly. Garnish with chives to serve.
