Today’s Special: Spicy Sausage Mac and Cheese

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a new twist on a classic comfort food favorite — spicy sausage mac and cheese. This dish is perfect for those cozy nights in when you’re craving something warm, cheesy, and a little bit spicy. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 150g spicy Italian sausage
• 200g macaroni
• 150g cheddar cheese
• 75g cream cheese
• 2 jalapenos
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 250ml milk
• 25g flour
• 25g butter
• 50g breadcrumbs

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• saucepan
• baking dish
• grater
• whisk

First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Cook the macaroni according to package instructions, then set aside. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until a paste forms. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.

Next, add the cheddar cheese and cream cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Dice the spicy Italian sausage, jalapenos, and garlic, then sauté them in a pan until the sausage is cooked through.

Combine the cooked macaroni, cheese sauce, and sausage mixture in a large bowl. Mix until everything is evenly coated. Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish.

In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with a bit of melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the mac and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Once the mac and cheese is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish serves 4 and each serving weighs around 350g. One serving is approximately 500 calories.

A unique tip for this dish is to add a splash of hot sauce to the cheese sauce for an extra kick of heat. Trust me, it takes this mac and cheese to a whole new level!
