Sausage Jalapeno Macaroni and Cheese

One time my friends went on a "Macaroni and Cheese Crawl". If you're familiar with bar crawls, it's the same thought, but instead of slamming beers and tequila shots, you head to the best restaurants for Mac and Cheese.

While I wasn't able to make the crawl with them, I thought this was the best idea ever. Why, you ask? Because Macaroni and Cheese is freaking awesome!!!!

Spicy Macaroni and Cheese

No matter what combination of cheese, pasta or additional ingredients you decide to use, it's just a delicious, comforting meal.

As a kid, my Mom would always make me homemade Velvetta Macaroni and Cheese when I was sick. Now, every time I get sick, I run to the store to pick up Velvetta!

While this version does not include Velvetta, it does include three cheeses… and sausage… and roasted jalapeños, making it one seriously kicked up version of Macaroni and Cheese!
