Print Recipe
Blissful Bacon Mac n' Cheese Pie is a culinary creation that combines the creamy goodness of mac and cheese with the savoury allure of crispy bacon, all nestled within a golden crust.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the cooked macaroni and crumbled bacon with the cheese sauce, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the mac and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Let the mac n' cheese pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
