Appenzeller works best. Gruyère would be my go-to alternative. +- a jar of apple sauce + +## Directions + +1. Fry bacon cubes in pot (this pot will be used for everything so choose an appropriately large one) +2. Cut onions into half-rings and let them sweat in the same pot. Add some butter if your bacon was not fatty enough. +3. Peel potatoes and cut them into ~1 cm/half inch cubes +4. When the onions have become sufficiently cooked, add potatoes. +5. Top everything with milk and let the potatoes cook for about 10 minutes. +7. Add macaroni and the remaining milk to cover everything. Most of the milk will be absorbed by the macaroni. +8. Shred your cheese. +9. A minute or two before the macaroni are done, add the shredded cheese into the pot. It should appear a bit too runny in the pot. While cooling it will increase in viscosity quite a bit. If the final texture is not creamy enough it is most likely due to using the wrong cheese. +10. Season to taste. (Needs quite a bit of salt). Nutmeg also works well here. +11. Serve with apple sauce. Should be eaten together, not as a dessert. + +## Contributors + +- **Alexander Bocken** -- [contact](mailto:alexander@bocken.org) diff --git a/src/index.md b/src/index.md index 087a5a0..56449e1 100644 --- a/src/index.md +++ b/src/index.md @@ -28,6 +28,7 @@ Only Based cooking.
