mac 'n cheese with panchetta
(1 rating)
One of my favorite comfort foods of all time is mac n cheese. It's cheesy (most importantly)creamy, and just plain good. The gruyere, (a Swiss cheese) and panchetta (an Italian bacon) gives this ordinary dish some extra delicious flavor. (As if it wasn't delicious enough already.)This may not be the cheapest recipe, but I assure you the flavor matches the dollar. If you are budgeting, consider American Swiss cheese and regular bacon as a cheaper alternative.
