Mac Cheese with Smoky Bacon

What is it?

Short-cut macaroni sits in a cheese sauce with smoky bacon running through it. Frozen meal comes ready to heat, so the pasta and sauce are already combined in the tray. It's a straightforward entry in the frozen meals range, built around familiar macaroni cheese structure rather than extra vegetables or a separate topping. Bacon is folded through the sauce rather than added on top, which keeps the texture uniform from first spoonful to last. Smokiness from the bacon gives this version a noticeably different character from plain mac and cheese, adding a savoury depth that cuts through the richness of the cheese sauce. Heat it until the edges start to bubble and the centre is piping hot throughout.
