Sunday Supper Chronicles Part: 1

by Jayce Reese in , ,


Sunday suppers wouldn't be supper without some homemade baked macaroni and cheese.  This Sunday supper was no exception.  It's a rather easy and quick way to ensure everyone's souls are fed well to begin a new week!  On tonight's menu was baked tilapia, macaroni and cheese with bacon and brussel sprouts.

I would advise starting on the mac and cheese first as it takes the longest to bake.  The first step is boiling your noodles to al dente.  Once the noodles are finished you'll strain and layer noodles in a bake dish with cheese, butter and light salt and pepper.  Once finished add a quick, raw, scrambled egg with milk to the top to help it all gel together.  Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until the cheese at the top is crispy enough for you.  

I also LOVE bacon on top of my mac and cheese so I would throw some pieces of bacon in the oven on a cookie pan or deep bake dish as I don't like to battle frying bacon on the stove! Hold on to the grease from the bacon as it will be used later.

To prep the tilapia, rinse thoroughly and lightly coat with olive and oil.  Then add your choice of seasoning and also place in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. 

Once the bacon is done, use the grease to fly fry the brussel sprouts.  Rinse the brussel sprouts and slice in half.  Once cooking in the bacon grease add light salt and pepper.
