O Canada! Stove Top Mac-N-Cheese

"It's a heck of a lot quicker and easier to do mac and cheese on the stovetop. I add Canadian bacon to mine, because, well, I love bacon in all its forms."

  1. This was a quick and very tasty recipe... I doubled mine as I buy my macaroni in 500g bags worked perfectly I also mixed the cheese I used tasty & Gouda 1 1/4 cups of each as per recipe. I had left over cheese so I poured it into a baking dish sprinkled the extra cheese over it and baked it in my fan forced oven at 240 until just golden. Next time I will triple the sauce for my family's preference:)<br/>Great recipe it doesn't need changing thanks for sharing.
     
  2. This was very simple and quick to make! I really dont like the box stuff but sometimes I just get the craving for it!! I added muenster cheese to mine instead of cheddar and it turned out great! I thank you for this amazing easy new addition to our dinners!!!
     
  3. Very Very Good - Very Simple Quick - Easy - and Tasty! I Will be making this many - many more times. I only made tiny changes, I put cumin in my Mac 'N Cheese and I only had regular bacon that I cooked and chopped up in small bits. I also added a tad of cilantro. It was all very nice! I plan on trying it with other kinds of meat, like tuna, shredded turkey and maybe even corn beef. Thank You So Very Much!!

  5. Great recipe, so simple and tastes great, for those of us who like a good Mac and Cheese but don't want it to be loaded with butter, half and half, eggs, etc that other recipes call for. Thank you for this!
