No one can resist a piping hot bowl of mac and cheese with its soothing texture and filling appeal. What could possibly make such a simple meal even better? We have just the thing, of course. To achieve maximum melted flavor we’ve combined a blend of cheeses including Sargento® Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Top this beautiful dish with freshly chopped green onions and more crumbled bacon for added taste and indulge in the cheesiness.

- 1/2 cup (2 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
- 1/2 cup green onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In large pot, boil water and add 2 Tbsp. salt. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a separate saucepan. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking constantly,or until thickened. Gradually whisk in milk and simmer 5 minutes or until mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat.
