Mac, cheese and a little desert heat. The pasta cooks in the sauce base, then cheddar melts through at the end. Keep the extra Dust close.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon Spicy Desert Dust, plus extra to finish
  • 1 box macaroni (16 ounces)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Combine the milk, water and Spicy Desert Dust in a pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in the uncooked macaroni and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring very frequently, for about 8 minutes, until the macaroni is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar until melted.
  5. Serve immediately with another shake of Spicy Desert Dust, if desired.

Keep in mind

  • Stir frequently while the macaroni simmers.
  • Take the pan off the heat before adding the cheese.
