For a while Macaroni (with bacon & onion) was a staple in our house, but somewhere along the line it was forgotten about or we got sick of it.
Not only is this recipe well priced, but it is super easy to make and can be easily altered by adding vegetables, bacon or sausage.

TIME TO MAKE: 1 episode of The Big Bang Theory
- Approx 150g Diamond Macaroni
- 1Tbsp Butter
- 1Tbsp Flour
- 1 - 2Cups Milk
- 1Cup Grated Edam Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook Macaroni as per packaging with a touch of olive oil & salt. While Macaroni is cooking grate cheese and prep other ingredients.
- Once Macaroni is cooked, strain and set aside.
- Using the same pot that the macaroni was cooked in (to save on dishes), melt butter on a low heat. Once butter is melted add flour and cook for a few minutes. Slowly add milk while continuously stirring.
When sauce begins to thicken add cheese, remove from heat and stir till cheese melts (if cheese fails to melt, return to heat for a little bit). - Add cooked Macaroni to cheese sauce and mix thoroughly.
If you were to add other ingredients this is when you would put them in. Make sure they are cooked first as this is a combining step. - Serve with extra grated cheese on top if you're feeling a little bit naughty, and watch your little one gobble it all up.
