Zubereitung von The Most Exciting Bacon Macaroni Cheese Ever
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cook bacon: In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan. Set aside cooked bacon; crumble some for topping.
- Boil pasta: Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well, but do not rinse.
- Make cheese sauce: In the same skillet (with reserved bacon grease), melt butter over low heat. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until smooth.
- Combine: Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in most of the cooked bacon.
- Bake: Pour macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and bacon bits evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
