Cheesy Bacon Macaroni

Have an air fryer and an oven in one with the Hanabishi Air Fryer 30L HAFEO30SS. It can air fry, broil, bake, toast, and more. This way, you can make your baked goodies for your date anytime. 

Let’s start with the Cheesy Bacon Macaroni. This recipe calls for common ingredients that you can easily stock up at home. All in all, the preparation and cooking can be done in under 30 minutes. That’s why if you’re in a hurry, this is the perfect recipe for last-minute dates. 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups macaroni, cooked
• 4 to 5 bacon strips
• 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Steps:

1. Cook the bacon strips in your air fryer for 8 minutes at 200C. Once cooked, soak the bacon on a paper towel to remove the oil. Chop up to pieces.
2. Prepare a pot on the stove-top. Melt the butter before adding the flour. Stir the mixture thoroughly before adding the milk. Bring the mixture to a boil then turn the stove off.
3. Add the salt and onion powder to the mixture. Stir in the cheese until it’s melted.
4. Add the macaroni and bacon to the mixture and set aside.
5. Grease a cake pan with oil. Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to the cake pan and cook in the air fryer for 7 minutes at 200C. It’s done when the cheese has melted and turned into a golden brown color.
6. Serve and enjoy!
