A Tasty Cheese, Onion & Bacon Sauce For Pasta

This tasty Cheese, Onion & Bacon sauce is delicious served over pasta - or even toasted bread rolls

This is a delicious ‘go to’ recipe which can be made on the stove top for a quick & filling meal. I usually add (husband pleasing) bacon to this sauce, but it’s just as nice if you leave the bacon out (if husband is away – or in the dog box !) and add extra onions instead (spring onions work well in it, too).

I sometimes serve the leftovers (if there are any !) the next day over toasted bread rolls for lunch. Delicious !


Tasty Cheese, Onion & Bacon Sauce for Pasta


Oil for frying
2 Onions, sliced
1 pkt (400 gm) Back Bacon, cubed
2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Flour
¾ Cup Milk
¼ tsp Salt
Pinch of Pepper
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
1 tsp Hot English Mustard
1 tsp Worcester Sauce

Fry the sliced onions & cubed bacon in a pan until done. Remove from heat & set aside. In a separate pot, melt the butter & slowly add the flour and blend until smooth. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick & smooth. Add the salt & pepper, cheese, mustard & Worcester Sauce, and simmer to blend. Finally, add the cooked onions and bacon and stir well to combine, before serving immediately over freshly cooked pasta.
