    Thermomix Mac and Cheese

    Jump to recipe

    This recipe was developed because someone had raided Grandma's cupboard and got hooked on the Packet Mac N Cheese!  So a Thermomix alternative HAD to be found!  This Thermomix mac and cheese pimped up was born!  If you are a true Mac and Cheese lover then you'll be adding this one to your list of favourites - Could it even be the number 1 spot?!

    Tania shared this recipe with me after her kids nagged her about buying some more of the Mac N Cheese that Grandma had!  This is what she had to say "So instead I made them a version that I'm happier to serve them.  They go for thirds, not just seconds whenever they convince me to make it again.  I thought I’d share it with any other fellow Mac ‘n cheese lovers."

    I don't know whether to suggest anything else with this or if a bowl and a fork are enough!

      This is a SUPERB recipe. I love how the cheese sauce is made with the bacon - so easy and not much cleaning up afterwards!

      I won't ever use any other recipe for this! Divine 😍
