MAKE THE MAC
Place a pot over medium heat. Add the milk, 150ml [300ml]|#7DA0D7 of water, the Macaroni and a small pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until al dente, 10-15 minutes (stirring occasionally). Mix through the cream, the cheese, and seasoning. Loosen with warm water if it’s too thick.
BRING HOME THE BACON
Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon strips until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel and roughly chop. Alternatively, air fry the bacon at 200°C until crispy, 4-5 minutes (shifting halfway).
ODE TO ONIONS
Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the Onion until soft and golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
ALMOST THERE
When the mac ‘n cheese is done, add the Onion, ½ the bacon, and seasoning, and mix until combined.
