BACON MAC & CHEESE HOT DOGS - CASEY'S CORNER STYLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the macaroni pasta according to packet instructions.
• While it's cooking, make the roux - melt the butter in a medium saucepan (big enough to hold the cooked macaroni) over low heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the flour.
• Mix the butter and flour well with a small whisk or spatula to form a paste. Keep stirring over a low heat for 1 minute.
• Add the milk bit by bit and mix well. Make sure its completely incorporated with the roux each time before you add more milk. I prefer to use a whisk for this but a spatula or wooden spoon also work.
• Keep stirring over a low heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Take off the heat and stir in the mustard powder and some salt and pepper. Mix in the grated cheese.
• When the macaroni is done cooking, drain it and add to the cheese sauce. Reserve a cup of the water you cooked the pasta in - you can add a little to loosen your cheese sauce if you find it is too thick.
• Slice open your rolls and add the cooked Frankfurters. Top with a generous spoonful of macaroni.
• Dice the crispy cooked bacon really finely then sprinkle on top of the mac and cheese. I also like to garnish with some diced spring onion or chives.

CHEESY BACON ULTIMATE DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Smear 1/4 teaspoon mustard inside each butterflied hot dog. Put 2 Cheddar cheese matchsticks inside each hot dog.
• Secure one end of a bacon strip to one end a hot dog using a toothpick. Wrap the bacon strip tightly around the entire hot dog, securing the far end with another toothpick; repeat for remaining hot dogs.
• Cook on preheated grill until hot dogs are heated and bacon is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Place each cooked hot dog onto a bun and top with 2 pickle slices.
