Anne Burrell's Killer Mac and Cheese image

This recipe is not found on the Food Network where Anne demonstrates her cooking skills, but in her new cookbook "Cook Like a Rock Star." I really like Anne's show(s). She is funny but she really gets her points across. This recipe sounds great to me, so I am putting it here for safe-keeping.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

olive oil, extra virgin
6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 onion, cut in 1/4-inch dice
kosher salt, as needed
1/2 cup flour
1 quart whole milk, plus more as needed
1 lb pasta shells or 1 lb other short pasta
2 cups cheddar cheese, freshly grated
2 cups Fontina cheese, freshly grated
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Tabasco sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a large saucepan. Add bacon and bring to medium heat. Stir bacon occasionally. When crisp and brown (6-8 minutes) remove bacon from pan. Drain. Do not discard bacon fat!
  • Add butter and onion to pan with the fat. Season with salt and cook till onions are soft and aromatic (8-10 minutes). Add flour and cook stirring 4-5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, season with salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer on low heat 8-10 minutes more.
  • In the meantime, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook 1 minute less than the package directions stipulate. Drain and reserve.
  • Add the three cheeses to the milk mixture and whisk to combine. Add mustard and Tabasco; taste and adjust seasonings. If mixture is too thick, add more milk. Stir in bacon and pasta. Mixture should be very creamy and flavorful. Serve immediately or transfer to a baking dish or ramekins and reheat in a 375 degree oven.
