- Cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions or until al dente.
- Meanwhile place the bacon under a hot grill and cook until crispy. Then cut the bacon up and place to one side.
- Drain the macaroni and add to the sauce along with the bacon and cheese, saving a little for the top.
- Place in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and cheese. Place the sliced tomato on top – place under a hot grill until golden and bubbling.
[h4]For the Sauce[/h4]
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour to make a roux – cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the milk, gradually whisking all the time. Place back on the heat and bring up to a simmer, whisk until the sauce thickens. Season with pepper, a few shavings of nutmeg and the mustard
I never use the nut meg or breadcrumbs though and just generally guess the measures LOL
