eMeals: March Recipe


I get to post one of my favorite recipes each month, yet it is so hard to choose as I have lots of favorites. I had decided that I was going to post the recipe for Easiest Chicken Tortilla Casserole Ever, but then I cooked again last night and discovered a new favorite. So here it is...

Cheddar Macaroni and Bacon

½ lb penne pasta, cooked and drained
½ lb bacon, cut into 2” pieces, cooked & drained
1 T grated Parmesan cheese
2 T butter
½ small onion, diced
2½ T flour
2 c milk
½ t thyme
salt
pepper,
2 T grated Parmesan cheese
1 ¾ c sharp cheddar cheese, grated (less than 8 oz)

Grease small casserole dish (1 1/2 quart) and sprinkle 1 T Parmesan cheese. In a skillet, melt butter and saute onions until clear. Whisk In flour until a paste, then milk slowly. Simmer until thickened. Stir in thyme, salt and pepper. Fold in Parmesan and 1 c cheddar cheese and stir until creamy. Stir in pasta and bacon. Pour into dish, sprinkle remaining cheddar and bake uncovered 25 min @ 350° or until bubbly. 

This recipe is for 2-3 people. My husband and I devoured most of it in one meal. If you have picky eaters or serve portions, you could easily feed 4-5 people.
