Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook the macaroni and potatoes separately until al dente. Set aside. Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch strips across and cook until lightly crisp. Set aside. Saute the onions and garlic in butter until caramelized and browned. Set aside. Mix the milk, half & half, cornflour and parsley in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Layer half of the cooked macaroni, potatoes, cheese, bacon and onions in a 2-quart casserole. Repeat layers. Pour the milk mixture over the macaroni. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top of the macaroni and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes, until lightly browned.

Show more commentsHi - In Switzerland, you typically eat this with a bit of apple sauce (mashed apple) on a cold winter day - absolutely great.
