Colder evenings call for cosier food! And this one-pot wonder from our Brand Ambassador Jill Stewart (@jillbakes_ on Instagram) will be a welcome addition to your Winter weekly meal rotation!
Serves 6
Ingredients:
Half a bag of The Stuffing Company Savoury Breadcrumb Stuffing
Spray veg oil
12 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
500g dry macaroni
2 chicken stock pots dissolved in 700ml
Boiling water
400ml milk
2 tsp onion granules
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp smoked sweet paprika
Salt and black pepper
3 tbsp double cream or creme fraiche
300g cheddar cheese, grated
2 handfuls frozen peas
Method:
- Spray a large non-stick oven-safe saucepan (no plastic handle) with veg oil.
- Add the bacon and cook over a medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
- Add the macaroni, chicken stock, milk, onion granules, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and paprika. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid.
- Cook for 13-16 minutes (stirring halfway) until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Add the peas for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile grate the cheese – it’s best to grate your own rather than use pre-grated as it melts better.
- Season the pasta with salt and pepper. Add the cream and most of the grated cheese bar one handful – stir through.
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees fan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and delicious stuffing over the top of the pasta.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes in the oven or you can brown under the grill instead.
Serve and enjoy! Any leftovers will keep for a few days and heat up well in the microwave.
