Since everything tastes exponentially better with bacon, I’ve added a generous dose of the salty pork along with some chopped jalapeños for a variation of stovetop mac ‘n’ cheese you can’t resist.

directions

Step 1

Cook noodles to al dente according to package directions.

Step 2

Cook bacon until desired tenderness. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add cornstarch and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a lump-free paste. Continue to stir for a minute or two. This will help cook out that raw cornstarch taste.

Step 4

Slowly add milk while whisking constantly. Simmer until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Add Gruyere and stir until melted.

Step 5

Add drained cooked noodles to cheese mixture.

Step 6

Stir in bacon and chopped jalapeno. Add salt and pepper to taste.
