Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon Crumble

Instructions

1. 1

   In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the bacon. Drain through a sieve into a bowl. Set aside the bacon and bacon fat separately.

2. 2

   In the same skillet, add the garlic, shallot and croutons. Add some of the reserved bacon fat, as needed. Cook for 2 minutes, while stirring, or until the croutons begin to brown. Remove from the heat. Add the reserved bacon and parsley. Mix well and keep warm.
