Steps:
- Cook the pasta for 4 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1⁄4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the flour. Whisk together, cooking until the flour resembles wet sand and begins to smell nutty and fragrant. Add the milk, whisking until there is no lumps. Bring to a boil and cook for one minute, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Season generously with pepper and add salt to taste (this will depend on the saltiness of your cheese.) Add the pasta and fold together until the pasta is coated, add 1 tablespoon of the pasta cooking water, if necessary, to loosen.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin and line each cup with a piece of precooked bacon to come up sides of cup. Spoon mac and cheese into each of the cups and then top with some Italian panko breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool 5-10 minutes to settle into cups before removing and serving.

Steps:
- 1. To assemble, with the macaroni slightly warmed to a little higher than room temperature, mix in the crumbled bacon to the macaroni and cheese side dish. Then scoop a heaping tablespoon of macaroni and roll into a tightly packed ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the macaroni has been rolled, place in freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
- 2. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place a baking rack on a baking sheet and coat the rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place flour and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Place eggs and the yolks in a second bowl and beat them until uniform in color, and put the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Dip macaroni balls in the flour, shaking off excess flour, then dip into eggs and then the panko mixture, patting crumbs to adhere. Place on baking rack and bake 15 minutes until golden brown. If desired, serve with marinara sauce for dipping. Serve immediately.
- Yield: 45-40 macaroni and cheese balls depending on how big you make them.

BACON SHRIMP MAC AND CHEESE (BITES)
With the upcoming Holidays approaching I decided I would try some new appetizers.We have our family favorites, but I wanted to try a few new things. My boys love mac and cheese (who doesn't?) they are young foodies & really expect more than the blue box -- as delish as it is on occasion. So I stepped it up. Everything, & I hope you agree, is better with bacon. We are lucky to live where we can inexpensively get shrimp so hmm. How can I make these into a bite size appetizer? It is phenomenal on its own but not really party friendly.These tiny bite sized balls are just the tasty fit for a party

Steps:
- I begin the recipe by browning the bacon lardons in a large sauce pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a papertowel. Add the shallots and cook until just softened, add some butter and flour and cook until lightly brown, you are making a simple béchamel sauce. Add the milk and ½ and ½, stir until the mixture begins to bubble slightly and thicken, reduce heat and continue to cook add a few pinches of ground mustard, a dash of paprika, toss in a bay leaf or two and a bit of chipotle powder, salt and pepper and taste. Add a dash or pinch more until you say YUMMO....but wait we still have to add the cheese and then a touch of nutmeg. Taste adjust seasoning. Toss in the chopped parsley (optional)
- Now for the Shrimp I season with montreal seasoning, and olive oil and saute or grill until just pink. Cool and chop
- Pour the béchamel sauce over the cooked pasta add the shrimp and the bacon. Let cool and form into balls. Set up a breading station. Flour one bowl, I mix the egg in one bowl and then mix the breadcrumbs and the corn meal in another. In a deep fryer or in a deep saute pan add the canola oil and heat. You will know it ready when you toss in a bit of bread crumbs and they don't sink. Put the pasta balls in flour, then egg then bread crumb mixture and place carefully in the hot oil, cook until golden brown. Be very gentle removing them they fall apart easily when they are piping hot. They really are little nuggets of yumminess! Perfect with or without a dipping sauce. I reserved some of the béchamel but it really didn't need it. Hope you love them...
