This tasty recipe can feed a large group or satisfy a family in a hurry.
It includes your favorite spaghetti noodles in addition to broccoli, cheese, and beef. Even though it’s labeled as a mac and cheese, many diners like to add some flavorful extras to this dish. Because any type of pasta may be used, this method is not only more flexible than most others, but it also works well when you need to whip up a meal quickly but don’t have the patience for a complicated preparation.
Ingredients:
6 ounces of dry pasta, whichever kind you want
3 cups of freshly prepared broccoli florets
Chopped bacon equivalent of 3 slices
Chicken breasts (12 ounces) without skin, sliced thinly (1/2 inch)
A pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of minced garlic or garlic powder
The equivalent of one and a quarter cups of milk
Simmer 1 cup chicken bones in 1 cup broth
Typical Flour, One-Fourth Cup
Five ounces of shredded cheddar cheese
Prepare the pasta al dente, as directed on the box.
Just before the pasta is done cooking, bring the broccoli to a boil for two minutes.
Once it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and drain the pasta and broccoli.
The best way to cook bacon is in a skillet over medium heat, so go ahead and get one out. To get it nice and crispy, cook it for around 4 to 6 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and set it aside.
Next, using the same pan, coat it with bacon oil and fried the chicken.
From there, add roughly a tablespoon of the salt and some garlic to the pan, simmering the mixture for a few minutes until the garlic is fragrant. This ought to take 6-8 minutes to take effect.
Put the milk inside the chicken pan, bring it to a boil, and whisk in the stock, flour, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
The next step is to combine everything and heat it until it thickens.
About two ounces of the cheese should be added to the spaghetti mixture at this point, and the dish should be tossed to evenly distribute the cheese.
The final touches are the remaining cheese (a couple ounces) and the bacon.
Get this in the broiler for a few minutes and then relax as the cheese melts.
Finally, mix it up again to make sure everything is evenly distributed, and serve it up right away. If you want to spice things up a bit, try serving salt and pepper on the side.
If you want to make a dinner that everyone in your family will appreciate, but that is also simple and quick to prepare, this mac and cheese is it.
