Bacon Macaroni & Cheese

Calling all Mac & Cheese fans! - I made an indulgent Macaroni Cheese with @denhaybacon and pine nuts this weekend and it was delicious! @denhaybacon is produced at Denhay Farm in Devon – they pride themselves on producing succulent and flavoursome bacon from British outdoor bred pork which comes from producers inspected to RSPCA welfare standards. Denhay also are also creators of ‘Bacon By Nature’: the result of combining simple ingredients from nature using their own plant-based cure without the use of artificial nitrites. It’s available to buy from @waitroseandpartners and @sainsburys
