macaroni and cheese
Marcus's Mac and Cheese
salt
1 pound uncooked macaroni
6 slices bacon, chopped
3 garlic cloves
1 red onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups cream
3 cups water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 egg yolks
butter for greasing the pan
breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until really crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set to the side on paper towels to drain. Reserve the fat in the pan.
4. Return the pan to medium heat and add the garlic and onions. Cook until the garlic is golden and the onions are translucent. Remove the garlic and onions with a slotted spoon and set in a bowl to the side.
5. Combine the cream and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese. Stir until melted. Beat in the egg yolks.
6. Butter an 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Stir the cheese sauce into the cooked macaroni and combine well. Mix in the bacon, garlic, and onions. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
