My kids love hot sauce. Yes... they are taking after me and my love of all things spicy. We can go through a large bottle of hot sauce (Frank's brand) every few weeks. This mac and cheese was a big hit with the kids and even the big kids.
Ingredients:
1lb cooked pasta.
Buffalo Chicken Mixture:
2 large chicken breast (poached) See notes below*
1 medium onion
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 stalk celery
1 large carrot
1/4 cup of hot sauce (I used Frank's)
1 tsp grated garlic
red chili flakes to taste
salt and black pepper to taste
1 (4oz) brick cream cheese (regular or low fat)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheese Cheddar (I recommend Mexican Blend)
Note: To poach chicken breast, just place chicken in pan covered by water. Simmer on medium until chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken and shred.
Directions:



Add 3/4 of shredded cheese and pasta. Mix well. Butter (or spray) a baking dish and add mac and cheese. Top with remaining cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy.

Yea for your kids liking spicy food. I have been craving mac and cheese and cannot decide if I want the traditional or if I am going to jazz it up. This version is very very tempting.

My kids and I (yes me!) need to work on eating more spicy food. Japanese food is so mild that we need to train ourselves for spicy food! This sounds so good though. I tried buffalo wings a few times and oh yeah it's a bit too spicy for me. =P
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish! I how you snuck vegetables into it too!
ReplyDeleteYour mac and cheese teamed with buffalo looks fantastic :D

I keep seeing Frank's Hot Sauce. I need to find me a bottle. Great Mac & Cheese!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you wean your kids on Frank's? LOL. I could just see you putting Frank's in their baby bottles. My grandsons eat spicy foods, too, because my daughter has been feeding it to them since they were babies. It's really fun to watch kids eat foods with character! Ramona, your Buffalo Mac and Cheese sounds so delicious. I'll bet it's really creamy, too, with the cream cheese in it. Love the idea of the Frank's to shake things up from ordinary mac and cheese.
ReplyDelete1/4 cup of hot sauce is enough to send me running to my heartburn medicine but this dish would be well worth. I love this spicy version!
ReplyDeleteI made this a while back and it tasted so great!
