  3. 3
    Pre-heat your oven to 180AF celcius.

    Set your pasta in a pan of salted water (as much as you would think you need), and set at mid-high heat, keep checking to stir.
  5. 5
    Next, get a large frying pan or skillet hot and add a tablespoon of veg/olive/sunflower oil, and let it become very runny.
  6. 6
    Add the pork mince and bacon - the pan should sizzle when you add the meat, if not its not hot enough!

    you want colour on meat because colour = flavour :)
  8. 8
    while they are cooking away, get a small saucepan, and add your cheese sauce, following instructions on the packet.
  9. 9
    Add the fajita mix to the cheese sauce mix and combine.

    Dont worry if its a little thick, it makes for extra gooey mac and cheese.
  11. 11

  12. 12
    When pasta is cooked, meat is cooked to your liking, and the sauce is thick enough for you, put all ingredients into a large oven proof baking dish.
