So, the recipe I am sharing today, is for my version of Macaroni Cheese, as we call it in the UK, with tomatoes and onions, but also some bacon.

Now, I DO know, having lived and worked in the USA, that “Mac’n’Cheese” is extremely popular there and you can even buy it in boxes, but, I never thought of it as an American recipe……I could be wrong, but I always assumed that it was a “nursery style” meal for harried cooks (or nannies) and people on a tight budget, and very British too!
