Simple Easy Mac 'N' Cheese Recipe

Today I'm sharing this very simple, easy and fast recipe of Mac 'N' Cheese. I'm using this recipe for my Cheesy Farm Animals Pasta Bento.
About one month back I saw one of my cousin's friend being tagged in a Macaroni Cheese photo. That certainly looks and sounds yummilious to me because I'm a SUPERB CHEESE LOVER since young！ I asked for the recipe immediately and also went Google Searched. 
My Mom still remembered how much I loved eating cheese and I could eat just the slice of cheese alone w/o any breads to go with almost EVERYDAY！Now I seldom eat just the cheese alone but a MUST HAVE, at least one slice if I'm having breads in the morning.   

Cheesy Shells Pasta cooked on 20th March 2011.  Here I used the left-over Shells Pasta from my previous cooking.

   Ingredients For 4-6 Servings :

• 1 Packet of Macaroni or Pastas you prefer 
• 1 Packet of Bacon Strips (Cut about 2cm wide)
• 1 Small Packet of Sausages (Sliced)
• 1/2-1 Bottle of Thick Cream 
• 1/2-1 Block of Yellow Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2-1 Packet of Mozzarella Cheese/Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2-1 Packet of Fresh Milk/2 Cans of Evaporated Milk (I prefer evaporated milk as it's nicer and richer in taste than the fresh milk I used-low fat milk)
• 1 Big Red Onion (Sliced)-Optional 

   How To Cook :

1. Cook Macaroni/Pastas as directed on packaging, drained, put under running tap water to cool it and set aside.
2. Sautee bacon strips and sausages (sliced onions if you're adding) in a separate pan till browned, set aside.
3. Boil thick cream in a pot under low heat. 
4. Once there is bubbles shown, add in all the cheeses and keep stirring to melt them until smooth. (Still using low heat)
5. Pour in fresh milk/evaporated milk and boil with high heat.
6. Once boiled, lower down heat, add in Macaroni/Pastas, bacon strips and sausages.
7. Stir to mix all well for 2-3mins and it's done！
8. Put in the oven to bake few mins if you prefer the baked ones.

I'm waiting for my new conventional oven when we move to our new flat (my hubby finally agrees to buy for me ) and I'll try out the baked Mac 'N' Cheese！
 

Cheesy Farm Animals Pasta Bento

The girls are having sammies for their bentos for the past two days so today I decided to cook Mac 'N' Cheese for a change. I didn't use macaroni here because I just bought 2 boxes of cute colorful animals shaped pastas and can't wait to use them！ This is the 2nd time I cooked Mac 'N' Cheese after my cousin gave me the recipe. Messy requested to have it again but NOT TOO CHEESY PLSSS... The 1st time I added ALL the cheeses because they have very short life-spans and I don't know when I'll be cooking this again as the responses are not very good due to TOO CHEESY... heehee 
So today, I cut down all the cheeses by half, add slightly more water and fresh milk (so it won't be too dry few hrs later when Messy eat for her recess break in school) hoping it taste just nice.  
I add a few of her favourite Sandwiched Tofu in flower shapes with Decor Blue Pearl Glimmer Gragees in the middle and fried spaghetti as the stalks but no leaves... Haha    

Messy's Cheesy Farm Animals Pasta Bento

Organic Farm Animals Vegetable Pasta

There's no bento for Cheeky because she prefer tomato sauce pastas. Anyway it don't really matter as more than enough foods are provided in her school. 
For me, I still prefer MORE CHEESE for this pasta (I'm a cheese lover) and find today's Mac 'N' Cheese too bland for me. When Messy came back from school, I noticed she didn't finished up her pasta, only those flowers are gone and asked her why? She told me it's too bland for her too！ Maybe her taste buds haven't return yet after recovered from fever. Hopefully she'll be better in a few days' time...
