Cast Iron Skillet Mac and Cheese Recipe
 
1 lb                  Elbow Macaroni
4 Tbsps           All-Purpose Flour
5 Tbsps           Butter
2 ½ Cups         Milk
4 slices            Bacon
½ Cup             Panko Bread Crumbs
8 oz                 Sharp Cheddar Cheese
8 oz                 Mild Cheddar Cheese
8 oz                 Pepper Jack Cheese
1/8 tsp             Nutmeg
1 tsp                Black Pepper
1 tsp                Salt
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
 
In a skillet fry the bacon for 6 minutes or until it is golden brown. After bacon is done remove it from the pan and set it aside until later. Discard the oil from the pan. Add one teaspoon of salt to a pot of water then bring to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes drain off the water and set it aside. In your skillet melt the butter. Add the flour to create a roux. Add the milk and continually mix to prevent any lumps. Add the sharp cheddar, mild cheddar and pepper jack and mix well. Season with the salt, nutmeg and pepper. Add the macaroni and bacon and mix well. Top with the bread crumbs then transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes.
