Serves: 1–2
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: Approximately 30 minutes
Appliance: Instant Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- 250 ml milk
- 75 g macaroni (uncooked)
- 80 g cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ clove garlic, finely chopped
- Large pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp corn flour
- 2 tbsp milk (extra for thickening)
Preparation Method
- Select Bake on your air fryer, set the temperature to 191°C, and the time to 4 minutes. Press Start.
- When prompted to Add Food, place the bacon in the basket and bake until crispy. Once done, chop into small pieces.
- In an oven-safe dish that fits your air fryer, add the milk, uncooked macaroni, most of the cheese (reserve a little for later), Dijon mustard, bacon, garlic, and a large pinch of salt.
- Stir everything together, cover the dish tightly with foil, and place it inside the air fryer basket.
- Select Air Fry, set temperature to 188°C, time to 20 minutes, and press Start. (Ignore the “Add Food” prompt — your dish is already inside.)
- Once cooking is done, remove the dish and take off the foil.
- Mix the corn flour with 2 tbsp milk to make a slurry. Stir this into the macaroni to thicken the sauce.
- Top the dish with the remaining cheese. Select Air Fry or Grill, and cook for an additional 5–8 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
- Serve hot and enjoy the ultimate air fryer mac and cheese!
