Chipotle Macaroni and Cheese image

This is my favorite way to make mac n cheese, it's a little smokey & spicy. I like to add fresh chopped tomatoes on top right before serving if they're in season.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used less chipotle peppers than the recipe called for. It was still delicious!
