Mac & Cheese Ingredients
4-6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 small tomato, diced
6 ounces whole wheat medium shells pasta, cooked according to package directions
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
6 ounces triple cheddar shredded cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Handful of Fire Roasted Tomato Triscuits, crushed into crumbs*
Mac & Cheese Directions
1. Bring heavy whipping cream to boil; reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes until slight reduced. Slowly add cheese, mixing constantly to make sure all cheese melts.
2. In a casserole dish mix together pasta, bacon and tomato, mix well. Add cheese sauce mix until well combined.
3. Top mac and cheese with crushed Triscuits and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until it’s bubbly and topping is golden brown.
* To crush Triscuits place them in a Ziploc type sandwich bag and use a rolling-pin with a back and forth motion to create fine crumbs.
We all loved the mac and cheese with the Triscuit topping. The extra flavorful crunch really added a nice new dimension to this meal.
