SPICY MACARONI AND CHEESE BAKE
This recipe came from what my mom referred to as the 'spice' cookbook. I grew up with it and am happy to share it. It's pretty simple to make. Make a roux, add to pasta. It is a favorite at potlucks but can be altered for smaller groups. You can make it as spicy as you like. I usually make a SPICY half and a not so spicy half.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: This is the main ingredient in macaroni and cheese, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or Gouda.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: This means that the macaroni should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the macaroni, it will become mushy and the dish will not be as good.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It helps to create a smooth and creamy sauce for the macaroni and cheese.
- Season the sauce well: In addition to salt and pepper, you can add other spices to the sauce, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Add some extras: You can add other ingredients to the macaroni and cheese, such as cooked bacon, sausage, or vegetables. This will help to make the dish more flavorful and interesting.
Conclusion:
Spicy macaroni and cheese bake is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a macaroni and cheese bake that is sure to impress your family and friends.
