Mac-attack
Ever want a heart-attack, but feel that eating greasy food every day for years is just too much work? Try this Mac’n'cheese recipe:
1/2 cup of finely chopped vidalia onion
16 ounces of Sharp Cheddar, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 pound of bacon
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 clove of garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder)
2 tablespoons of cholula hot sauce
1 1/2 cups of macroni noodles (pre-cooked measurement)
1 tablespoon of butter
1/4 cup of heavy cream (milk is fine, cream is better)
You’ll need one pot to boil the noodles, and one heavy skillet.
Boil the noodles until they are cooked, but still very firm. Don’t overcook the noodles, or you’ll end up with mush.
In the skillet, fry up the bacon until it is nice and crunchy, almost burnt. Make sure it will crumble, and pat the bacon down with a few paper towels to get as much grease off it as possible. Once the bacon is cooked, drain the remaining fat (don’t wash the pan!) and cook the diced onions one high heat until they have a nice medium brown color, stirring frequently. It should take about 5 minutes. Add butter and reduce heat to low.
While the onions are cooking, crumble the bacon into small pieces. I like to take half the bacon and put it into a ziploc, and crumble it into “bit” sized pieces, and then make “bite” sized pieces with the other half.
Once the onions have a nice color, add everything to the skillet, and give it a quick stir to mix everything together. Try to distrubute the cheese chunks as well as possible.
Cover and WALK AWAY. It should be ready in about 15 minutes, when the cheese has fully melted and gotten gooey all over everything. Kill the heat, and wait a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy, and keep the glycerin tablets nearby.
