Step 8
3 tbsp Flour
Step 9
2 tablespoon Butter
Step 10
1 1/2 cups Milk
Step 11
1 cup Caramelized Onions
Step 12
1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese grated
Step 13
1 cup White Cheddar grated
Step 14
4 oz Cream Cheese
Step 15
instructions In a saucepan cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon, reserve drippings in saucepan. Add and melt 2 tablespoons butter in same saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon until smooth. Whisk in the milk, and stir until thick, about 2 minutes. This combination of a flour and a fat is called a roux. Also, Carla says if you want a healthier version use skim milk. Whisk in the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, then whisk in the cream cheese until smooth. The cream cheese keeps the pasta moist. Stir in caramelized onions, bacon and pasta.
