soul food plate $25 yeah....

Ingredients

• hot dog buns and hot dogs
• 12 oz. bacon, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 2 1/2 c. water
• 4 c. milk
• 16 oz. elbow macaroni
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley

Directions

1.  We have found it’s easier to chop your bacon when it’s not cooked yet. Chop bacon into bits, then cook in a large pan over medium-high heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
2. Save about 2 Tbsp. bacon grease in the pan. Add the flour then whisk until no lumps, about 30 seconds.
3. Pour in the water and whisk until smooth and thick.
4. Add the milk and whisk again.
5. Gently stir in the macaroni, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Simmer and cook 10-12 minutes or until the macaroni is cooked.
7. Lower the heat to low and mix in the cheddar cheese. Keep stirring until the sauce is smooth. If you’d like a thinner sauce, add more milk 1 Tbsp. at a time.
8. Stir in half the bacon.
9. Meanwhile, cook the hot dogs according to package directions.
10. Build your hot dogs, then top with mac n’ cheese. Garnish with remaining bacon and parsley.
11. Enjoy!

Sauces for fish

With well seasoned crispy skin and juicy flesh inside, I don’t need anything more than a squeeze of fresh lemon. But I am a sauce person, so I never turn down a sauce even for fish! Here are my favourite Sauces for Fish:

• Lemon Butter Sauce for fish – this is an absolute ripper. Totally restaurant worthy, 2 ingredients, the secret is to brown the butter;

• Creamy Dill Sauce – traditionally thought of for salmon but equally good with other fish;

• Cocktail Sauce, Marie Rose Sauce, or Tartare Sauce – recipe in this Prawn Dipping Sauces post

• Lemon Cream Sauce (see recipe notes)- A richer cream sauce with lemon;

• Simple Lemon Butter Sauce* cooked with the pictured Asparagus, Peas and Beans, as pictured. It’s really good!
