Ingredients

• 250 grams Macaroni pasta
• 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 250 ml Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Cooked and crumbled bacon
• 50 grams Pizza-flavored chips
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk to form a smooth paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring often, until it thickens into a creamy sauce, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and creamy. Add the salt and mix well.

Step 5

Add the cooked macaroni back into the pot and stir until the pasta is evenly coated with the cheese sauce.

Step 6

Transfer the mac and cheese into a serving dish and sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon over the top.

Step 7

Crush the pizza-flavored chips into small pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the bacon layer to give the dish a crunchy, flavorful topping.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, for a pop of color and a touch of freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this quirky, internet-inspired 'Memes Meal' while it’s hot!
