AUSTIN MAC N CHEESE (RACHAEL RAY)
This is a fantastic blend of southwest flavors and oozy cheeses. Very good. I would also add 4-6 oz. of cooked chorizo or other hot sausage to make this a one dish meal. To make it more colorful, add chopped red pepper or green onions after you take it from the oven. Rachael Ray is always joking about how she burns stuff in the broiler. The first time I made this, I set it on fire. No joke! The entire top of the macaroni had flames coming off it--I had to hit it with the back of a spoon to stop it. Just make sure you leave it under the broiler for seconds, not minutes!
