SPICY MACARONI AND CHEESE



Spicy Macaroni and Cheese image

From foodnetwork.com. This is the easiest way to make homemade mac and cheese that I've ever come across...in fact I've been altering all other mac and cheese recipes to reflect the method of prep in this recipe. I make this when I've got 15 minutes to throw together a meal (not including cooking time.) It doesn't hurt that this is a REALLY tasty macaroni recipe. Can be served as a side dish, but we're veggies so we usually eat it as the main dish. Hope you enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or a combination of cheddar and mozzarella will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the cheese sauce to the macaroni slowly, stirring constantly to prevent it from clumping.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, or even some chopped jalapeños to give your mac and cheese a unique twist.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought cheese sauce. Just be sure to doctor it up with some spices and herbs to give it more flavor.
