A more grown-up version of a favorite dish. Nice as a side for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The truffle oil definitely makes it more expensive, but it's worth it. Ingredients:
8 ounces macaroni |
1 teaspoon truffle oil |
2 slices bacon, cooked & minced |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, diced |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups milk |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
1/2 teaspoon dried mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, grated |
1/2 cup gruyere, grated |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook macaroni according to package directions.
3. Toss macaroni with truffle oil & set aside.
4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion & cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the bacon & the flour, combine well & cook for 1 minute.
5. Whisk in the milk & chicken broth, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil. When the mixture comes to a boil, take off the heat & stir in the mustard, salt, pepper & cheeses. Stir well until all the cheese melts & is well incorporated into the sauce.
6. Mix together the sauce and the macaroni and pour into a greased baking dish.
7. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
