Sriracha Mac & Cheese

Sriracha Mac & CheeseDoes your macaroni and cheese need a little kick? Then give this recipe for Sriracha Mac & Cheese a try!

Not only is it super easy to make with only a few basic ingredients, but after you try it I can guarantee that it will be very hard for you to ever go back to boxed macaroni and cheese.

I’ve seen a lot of macaroni and cheese recipes out there that call for tons of different spices to be added to the cheese sauce but honestly, making a roux by melting butter and stirring a few tablespoons of flour and then adding milk and shredded cheese is really all you need for a great batch of homemade macaroni and cheese.

I added three tablespoons of Sriracha to my sauce, which was perfect for me, but I also tend to stay away from anything too spicy, so you might want to up that to four tablespoons if you want a little bit more of a kick. Or, just start with three, give the sauce a taste and add more if needed.

Oh, and if you’re looking for a super unique way to serve your macaroni and cheese make sure you use some Folios Cheese Wraps to make cheese bowls to serve it out of. They’re the same wraps I used to make Cheddar Cheese Bacon Cheeseburger Bowls and Parmesan bowls that I filled with Cobb salad and I’ve been hooked on them ever since I discovered them about a year ago.

I buy my Folios from a grocery store chain here in Wisconsin called Woodmann’s, but Aldi and Costco both sell them as well. Just a heads up though, they’re about three dollars cheaper at Aldi than they are at Costco, so if you’re looking for them I’d check Aldi first.

The recipe below is enough to fill four cheese bowls — which is perfect since Folios come four to a package — so make sure to invite some friends over to eat with you when you make this one.

Or, just do what I did and eat all four of them yourself while you sit on the couch binging true crime documentaries on Netflix and then immediately start hating yourself afterwards for being such a disgusting human being and eating so much macaroni and cheese. The world is your oyster cheese bowl!
