Remember last week, when I told you about the recipes that Joe brought home from The Patriot-News? The first recipe we tried was for spicy pulled pork, and it was really good. The next recipe from that article that we tried was smoky macaroni and cheese. It is comfort food at its finest, laden with cheese and heavy cream.
As Cookie Monster would say, this is a sometimes food. But it's sometimes now, and I ate this one all week, too. It was magnificent. The bread crumbs on top are crunchy and the sauce is just spicy enough to be flavorful, but not so much that it makes your nose run.
Next time, we're going to double the Cheddar cheese (because, you know, it didn't have enough cheese in it to begin with) and see if that makes it better or not. Enjoy!

YUM!! That sounds great!
This week we're trying a new mac and cheese recipe too. Extra sharp cheddar, granny smith apples and a cornbread topping. I love pasta!

Mmmmmm. I love adult mac and cheese (finally), but only the really good kind. I'll have to look for the fire roasted tomatoes, as I didn't know they premade those. I've been roasting my own in the oven, but it's not the easiest thing to do when I'm short on time -- I love this idea better... and I LOVE tomatoes in my mac and cheese. Thanks!
