Whiskey Baked Macaroni
You can use any bourbon whiskey, but I prefer Jack Daniel’s for its distinct flavor. You can use any other bourbon whiskey you like.

- Over high heat, set a pot of salted water to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until it is al dente. Drain the water and set it aside.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet, reserving 2 tbsp of bacon grease and tossing the rest. Return 2 tbsp of bacon grease to the skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. When they melt completely, whisk in the flour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a menu?
How will the caterer know where to set up?
You’ll choose a “point person”!
The needs of your guests and order of events are highly important elements of a smooth wedding. Before your event, you will need to share your theme, goals, settings, placements, and timeline with the point person so that they may relay your wishes.
Your wedding planner or point person should be the point of contact for communication for the duration of preparation and the event itself as you will be enjoying your day. We will contact your point person when you are not available.
My venue has restrictions, will Texas Cater follow them?
Am I supposed to Tip?
