  1. Boil water in a small saucepan and cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute to make a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Add the grated Cheddar cheese to the saucepan and stir until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce and set aside.
  5. In a frying pan, cook the bacon rashers until crispy. Remove and set aside on kitchen paper to drain any excess fat.
  6. Using the same frying pan, shape the beef mince into a patty, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  7. Toast the burger bun slices in the frying pan until golden brown.
  8. Assemble the burger by placing the cooked beef patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with the crispy bacon rashers, followed by a generous spoonful of the macaroni and cheese mixture. Add a drizzle of ketchup if desired.
  9. Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately.
