One-stop baking in the oven, with more layers than traditional mac and cheese, recreating a modern American family-style dish!
Ingredients
- Main: 100g macaroni, 4 slices of bacon, 80g mozzarella cheese, 30g Parmesan cheese
- Seasonings: 1/2 onion, 1 garlic clove, 50ml heavy cream, 100ml milk, 1/4 tsp salt, a pinch of black pepper
Detailed Instructions
1.Quick prep with Geedel
Cut bacon into small chunks. Place bacon, onion, and garlic into the Geedel vegetable chopper (fine chop setting), press gently to make fine dice. The bacon's aroma is released more easily, and there's no need to chop garlic separately.
2. Cook macaroni + sauté bacon
Bring water to a boil, add salt, then cook macaroni for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside. Heat a pan, sauté bacon and onion dice until fragrant. Add heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper, simmer for 3 minutes to make a creamy cheese sauce.
2.Bake for stringy cheese
Toss cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, transfer to a baking dish. Top generously with both mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 180℃ for 15 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is stringy when pulled.
Blogger's Tip
Don't overcook the bacon—a slightly crispy texture is perfect.
Summary
This modern mac and cheese uses the Geedel vegetable chopper with container to prep bacon and onion in 3 minutes, doubling prep efficiency. 15-minute baking fits lazy weekend meals—stringy cheese and smoky bacon make it a breeze for beginners to cook authentic American family-style food!
