How to cook deliciously - Mac & Cheese Lasagna

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375º. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and drizzle a bit of olive oil to prevent noodles from sticking together.

2. Stage

In a medium bowl, stir to combine 3 tablespoons olive oil with panko and parmesan.  

3. Stage

In a large saucepan, melt 1 stick butter. Sprinkle over flour and cook until slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in milk and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper and let simmer until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove pan from heat and whisk in 3 1/2 cups cheddar and mozzarella until smooth.

5. Stage

Ladle a small amount of cheese into the bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, more cheese sauce, and about 1/5 bacon and jalapeño slices. Continue until all ingredients are used, ending with lasagna noodles. Add remaining cheddar and panko mixture in an even layer on top of lasagna.

6. Stage

Bake until cheese is bubbling and panko is golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
