It’s Tuesday everybody!  I sure hope everyone is having a great day.  Yesterday, I had a craving for homemade macaroni and cheese and I thought I would go all out and create a bechamel sauce as the base for the cheese sauce.

It is a little time consuming but oh so worth the effort. So rich and creamy and stacked with flavor.  In addition to the bechamel sauce I thought I would top the mac and cheese with some crumbled bacon to give it a little extra flavor.  I had never tried the bacon addition before…. but I will definitely be doing it in the future.  It was quite delicious!

I was also excited that I had a couple of slices of bread left over from my Quick and Easy Whole Wheat bread recipe that I did last week.  So I just left it on the counter for a while and then jammed it in the food processor for some instant bread crumbs.  I love not wasting anything!

Stay tuned and follow along with this recipe and see what you think.
