You know how you have those special family meals that become an heirloom recipe passed down from generation to generation? This is one of them. One Pot Spicy Macaroni and Cheese is a favorite in my family. I love that is tastes awesome and also that you can make the whole thing in one pot!
I have a secret ingredient that gives it the spicy flavor that I love, but also adds a depth to the dish that goes beyond the spicy heat. Texas Pete Hot Sauce is the key ingredient that I add when making it.
Here are all the ingredients:
- 1 box of pasta
- 4 cups of milk
- 4 tbs. butter
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of shredded cheese {use your favorite}
- Texas Pete Hot Sauce, for great flavor and a little bit of heat use 1 tbs. For more spicy heat use 2 tbs.
- 1/4 cup of diced peppers
- bread crumbs for garnish
Start by adding the pasta, milk, water and butter to a pot and bring it to a boil. Stir the pasta often as it cooks, so the milk won’t burn. Continue cooking till the pasta is done.
Do not drain the pasta. Add the cheese and stir it in well.
Remove from the heat and add the peppers and the Texas Pete Hot Sauce. When I make this I divide it up and add 1 tbs. for the kids portion and 2 tbs. for mine and Pete’s. We really like ours spicy! Sprinkle with bread crumbs and serve immediately!
In addition to Texas Pete Hot Sauce, Texas Pete also makes a variety of products that improves the taste of every meal… like a garlic hot sauce! Texas Pete Hot Sauce is great as a condiment to french fries, pizza, soups and more! It’s also a really flavorful ingredient to use in your favorite dishes! Here are even more Texas Pete Hot Sauce recipes. You can find Texas Pete Hot Sauce in a store near you.
That sounds ridiculously delicious. I definitley have to try this!
This looks yummy! I’m not much of a “hot” person but would definitely keep a little bit of the heat!
I’m always looking for ways to use up excess milk, and my husband likes thing with a sting… thanks!
Oh I can’t wait until it’s colder and I want comfort food. This is now on my list.
I love anything spicy. What an interesting concoction. Would love to try.
Looks wonderful. Love taking childhood dish to adulthood with a bit of a kick.
Wow, spicy Mac n cheese sounds so good! I like Texas Pete’s sauce too!
I love mac & cheese, and spicy foods, so this looks amazing!
Yum! That looks so good. Nothing better than a big bowl of spicy macaroni.
This looks so good and definitely a dish that my hubby and I can enjoy. We’ll have to try this one of these days!
I have never tried this brand before, I have to now. This looks so delicious!
Nice spin on a classic dish! Good way to keep it interesting 🙂
Homemade mac n cheese is so good. I love that it is one pot (less to clean up). Adding the spice sounds great!
Sriracha is AHmazing but I never thought to use it in mac n cheese. Guess what I’m making this weekend….?!
I like almost everything with a kick of heat so this sounds just amazing to me. I’ll be there for dinner!
This sounds great to me. I’m pinning it for future reference.
I’l have to try some Texas Pete in my mac n cheese next time. I definitely like spicy!
Love this mac & cheese, especially since it’s spicy!
I just discovered Sriracha not long ago because we tried making our own Pad Thai. I love finding new recipes to try.
That looks soooo good. We eat pasta at least once a week here, so I think that’ll be on the list for next week. My daughter is a vegetarian and a HUGE fan of Mac-n-cheese AND hot sauce. She puts it on everything, literally.
I love homemade mac and cheese. I occasionally use hot sauces like Texas Pete – mostly added when I cook to add flavor…I’m not one of those people who puts it on top of cooked food.
Looks delish! I’m all about spicy since my trip to Texas 🙂
My oldest would probably love this! He loves mac & cheese and spicy things.
That looks delicious, I’ve never thought about making Mac & Cheese on my own along with making it spicy.
I think my husband would really like this! Looks divine!
I love a little dash of hot sauce in just about everything 🙂 The pasta salad looks great too.
that looks really good and easy enough to make
This is right up my alley. I need to make this.
This sounds good! I use hot sauce in everything!
Oh yum. I love spicy food but hate the side effects lol. This sounds so good that I might just have to risk it.
Comfort food at its finest! Can’t wait to try this Mac & Cheese 🙂
