🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: emmentaler cheese

Emmental is a more affordable Swiss cheese with similar melting properties.

cream

🥗Healthier: half-and-half

💰Cheaper: milk

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

Ham is often less expensive than bacon and adds a similar flavor.

Chop up the potatoes.

Boil veggie broth and heavy cream together in a pot.

Once boiling, add macaroni and potatoes, ensuring the liquid covers them.

Put a lid on the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes until pasta and potatoes are ready.

Add salt and pepper to taste once the liquid is almost soaked up.

Directly add in gruyere cheese, using almost two full bags, saving some for the top.
