Beer Mac N Cheese
Lets celebrate Mac N Cheese! What better way than to add a little bit of beer! Throw in some bacon and broccoli and now you have a complete meal!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9”x13” baking dish.
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Slowly add beer and milk to flour mixture, stirring constantly. Continue whisking over medium heat until mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese until fully melted. Season with paprika, salt and pepper and fold in prepared macaroni noodles, broccoli and crumbled bacon. Pour into prepared serving vessel.
In a small bowl, combine Panko with olive oil and chives. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the mac & cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden, 25-30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
Garnish with chives and serve.
