How to make a creamy macaroni and cheese in a single pot
In short: Skip the draining and the roux with this efficient lunchtime method. This video demonstrates a streamlined technique where the pasta cooks directly in the sauce for a fuss-free meal.
The process begins by sautéing diced bacon until crisp, then softening onions in the rendered grease. Once the dry pasta, milk, chicken stock, and seasonings are added, the mixture is boiled until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the pasta is tender.
To finish, shredded cheddar and provolone are stirred in to create a melted sauce, with the crispy bacon returned to the pot. While the basic recipe uses 120g of dry pasta, the method is highly adaptable; you can substitute water for stock or add vegetables like peas, broccoli, or spinach.
