Meanwhile fry the Bacon in a pan (if Bits are used, no oil is needed – if you use another type, just fry as you normally will, then chop into bite-sized pieces) Remove from pan and keep warm
By now the Macaroni should almost be done – Use a 1 liter ( 4 cups ) microwave container (I use a glass measuring jug) – melt the Butter/margarine in the microwave. Add the flour and stir well until a smooth paste forms
Add the Milk little by little, stir and scrape the bottom and sides to make sure all the butter, flour and milk are combined. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, stir, make sure there are no lumps, repeat this same method twice more. Then, microwave, 1 minute at a time, stirring after every minute until you are satisfied with the thickness of the sauce. (6 – 8 minutes)
Add the Cheese in 3 batches to the sauce, stirring until the Cheese has melted after each addition
Drain the Macaroni and place in a large mixing bowl, add the Bacon and mix until combined
Stir in the Cheese Sauce – transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately
