Bacon Mac & Cheese Recipe

Not because he is an Iron Chef, Food Network host, or owner of acclaimed restaurants – Lola and Lolita. I actually don’t subscribe to cable so I’ve never watched him on TV. Come to think of it, maybe I’m not actually smitten with him, but I am in love with his bacon mac & cheese. You should know, I’m not a huge mac & cheese fan, so this is saying a lot. I’ve tried all sorts of mac & cheese recipes and I’ve never tried one this good. Finally, there was the Wisconsin Gruyère cheese, which was unbelievably amazing. The Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board has teamed up with Chef Michael Symon to showcase its award-winning Wisconsin Cheeses and his creative recipes on a series of webisodes titled Favorite Foods with Chef Michael Symon. Today’s new webisode is featuring his bacon mac & cheese, which I am also showcasing here on Savory Sweet Life. The rosemary was subtle and not overpowering, which I was convinced it would be.

Les Petits Chefs do Healthy Mac and Cheese. Last week we had a small crew of Petits Chefs due to a change in schedule but we went ahead and made a quick and easy dinner dish that the boys were delighted with – mac and cheese (sneaking in the high fibre with whole grain pasta and cauliflower!).

It was a super easy recipe, the hardest part being chopping all the pieces of cauliflower so they were the same size so they would cook evenly… The boys were sad we didn’t use the Magic Bullet this week but we did use the Microplane for the cheese (and noone even grated their fingers!) … The boys barely even noticed that I was cooking whole grain pasta…. Once the pasta was cooked, the cauliflower cut up and the cheese grated, we stirred in some (pre-grated) parmesan… Added the (lower fat) sour cream… And mixed it in well… Then we added the cheddar… And took turns to mix it in… Of course before we packed it up, we *had* to taste it… Verdict?

All this in about 35 minutes! Ingredients ½ a head of cauliflower 8oz. Mac + Cheese (Lottie + Doof Style) This weekend a car full of my favorite ladies drove from New York to Chicago on a roadtrip.

Mac + Cheese (Lottie + Doof Style)

I wanted to make something delicious for them and I pretty quickly decided on Macaroni and Cheese. Mostly because, like me, my dear friend Tini can’t get enough cheese. She asks for extra cheese on everything and usually is upset because it still isn’t enough (lucky for her, she has the metabolism of a hummingbird).

In honor of Tini and our mutual love of cheese, I decided to try to combine a few of our favorite things into one perfect dish of baked pasta. I combined penne with a rich creamy sauce of sharp cheddar and Parmesan which was made even more delicious by the addition of bacon and red pepper flakes. One of the dangers of cooking good food and having my apartment full of my favorite people is that I can get distracted.
