AIR FRYER MAC AND CHEESE WITH BACON

Air Fryer Mac and Cheese with Bacon image

I made this air fryer mac 'n' cheese to go with my leftover smoked pot roast! It is now the only way I'm making mac 'n' cheese. This makes about 4 servings and it was so good!

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 ½ cups elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons bacon grease
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 tablespoon crumbled cooked bacon
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
¼ cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ grated Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup ricotta cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
olive oil cooking spray

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost firm to the bite, about 6 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, melt bacon grease in a small cast iron skillet that fits in your air fryer over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir flour into the hot bacon grease until golden brown, making a roux. Slowly whisk in milk and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in bacon and Italian herbs. Mix in Cheddar, Parmesan, Colby-Monterey Jack, and ricotta cheeses, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until cheese has melted, about 3 minutes.
Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (195 degrees C).
Fold pasta into the cheese sauce and top with bread crumbs. Spritz with olive oil and pat down to minimize fly-away crumbs.
Air-fry until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling up at the edge of the skillet, about 15 minutes.

¼ cup milk
4 tablespoons margarine
¾ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
nonstick cooking spray
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Place mac and cheese balls into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn over and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more.
