Bacon Wrapped Mac n Cheese
Ingredients:
- 16 oz turkey bacon
- 1 box elbow macaroni
- 1 block of processed cheese (like Velveeta)
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- muffin pan
- non stick cooking spray
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray the cups of the muffin pan with non stick spray to prevent the bacon from sticking. This will make clean up much easier!
Lay 2-3 pieces of turkey bacon in the bottom of each muffin cup, arranging so they come part way up the sides.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until bacon begins to crisp.
While bacon is cooking, cut the cheese into 1″ cubes. Place in a microwave safe bowl and pour milk over top. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Stir well and continue heating until the cheese is completely melted and the milk is well blended in.
Cook macaroni in a medium pan according to instructions. Remove macaroni from stove just before it is soft as it will continue cooking in the oven. Drain well.
Stir macaroni into the cheese mixture, adding salt and pepper to taste.
When bacon is done cooking, remove from oven and fill the bacon cups with the macaroni and cheese mixture.
Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.
Remove the bacon wrapped mac n cheese from the oven and allow it to cool for several minutes before serving.
The mac n cheese cups should easily release from the pan.
Serve with fresh veggies for a fun meal!
