Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a medium oven-proof dish.
Dice the streaky bacon and pan-fry over medium heat. Let it cool.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the mustard. Stir in the flour to make a paste. Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk, stirring constantly, until it reaches a sauce-like consistency. Keep cooking and stirring for 10 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the cheddar and seasoning until well mixed.
Gently fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, along with half the bacon.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish.
Put the corn flakes in a resealable bag and crush them roughly with a rolling pin.
Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes over the macaroni and cheese. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, until the sauce bubbles slightly and the crust is golden.
Scatter over the remaining bacon and the chopped chives, and serve hot from the oven.
