Rustic Bacon Mac & Cheese | Slimming World Recipe | FatGirlSkinny.net

[ad_1]

This creamy, cheesy, Syn free rustic Mac and Cheese will outshine any Mac and Cheese you have tried before. With added bacon pieces it adds to the flavour and it is very simple to create.

Mr Fatgirlskinny was not happy this morning when I told him he couldn’t have his usually cereal with milk because I wanted him to save both of his Healthy extra A allowances for this amazing Mac and Cheese. BUT all was forgiven when he tasted it!

This recipe is completely Syn free as long as you are using your Healthy Extra allowances. It is easy to make and you don’t need anything special to create it other than a good baking dish, saucepan and a frying pan.

Mac and Cheese is the ultimate comfort food but it doesn’t have to be served alone. I threw a salad with mine but this could be served in smaller baking dishes along side a delicious steak (American styley). It can also be frozen and reheated so don’t be put off by the quantities.
