DAY 76 RECIPE:
GARLIC DILL MAC N’ CHEESE WITH BACON


INGREDIENTS:
2 & ½ Cups Uncooked Elbow Macaroni
10 Cups Water
1 Tsp Salt
¼ Cup Butter
2 OZ Cream Cheese
3 Tbsp Flour
2 Cups Milk
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp Pepper
1 Tsp Salt
¼ Tsp Nutmeg
1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Dill
1 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 Cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
4 Slices Cooked Bacon, crumbled

DIRECTIONS:
Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large pot bring water to a boil. Add 1 Tsp salt and noodles. Boil until Al Dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large sauce pan over medium low heat, melt butter and cream cheese (when melted enough it will kind of look curdled and gross). At this point whisk in flour, everything will come together in kind of a ball (or a few of them). Pour in 1 cup of milk and whisk, cook 2 minutes. Whisk in remaining milk and add seasonings. Stir continuously cooking until thickened, about 8 - 10 minutes. Add cheddar and stir until melted and smooth.
Mix noodles into sauce and transfer into a casserole dish. Top with crumbled bacon and then mozzarella. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil for about 4 - 5 minutes, or until top is bubbly and slightly browned.
