Quick & Easy Bacon Mac N’ Cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cook the macaroni following packet directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Add diced bacon to a large non-stick frying pan and dry-fry over medium heat until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towels.
3. Heat Western Star Spreadable Original Soft in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the cooked macaroni and bacon. Stir through half of the Bega Tasty Grated Cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
4. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Bacon Mac N’ Cheese Jaffles

1. Preheat a jaffle maker. If using your own Mac N’ Cheese filling, bring it to room temperature or warm slightly in your microwave.
2. Spread both sides of 8 slices of thick-cut white or wholemeal bread with Western Star Spreadable Original Soft.
3. Dividing the mixture evenly, top 4 slices of bread with the Mac N’ Cheese, spreading it out to leave a 1cm border. Top each sandwich with a Bega Tasty Natural Cheese slice and then cover with the remaining bread slices.
4. Cooking in 2 batches, place the Mac N’ Cheese-filled bread into the jaffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and toasted. Serve with a leafy green salad, if desired.
