Ultimate Baked Mac N Cheese With Bacon Recipe

Ingredients

  • kosher salt
  • 6 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 6 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
  • 1 quart whole milk, heated
  • 1 large sprig fresh thyme, plus 1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 oz. (2 packed cups) grated extra-sharp white Cheddar (the sharpest you can find; I like Cabot’s Seriously Sharp Hunter’s Cheddar)
  • 4 oz. (1 packed cup) grated Monterey Jack
  • 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. elbow macaroni or other small pasta, such as pipette or small shells
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil; more for the baking dish
  • 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs (I don't measure, but I'd say I use about 1/2 that amount of fresh breadcrumbs - this is the amount for cubed, fresh breadcrumbs. If you have the fine ground breadcrumbs just lightly sprinkle across the top)
  • 1-1/2 oz. (1/2 lightly packed cup) freshly grated parmigiano-Reggiano
