My fiancé & I were starving, it was past midnight & we were hammered lol. What's the easiest thing to make? Mac n cheese of course. One problem - NO MILK. So I got creative and this turned out famously! I don't know that I'll ever use milk again, quiet honestly 😊 For all you partiers, take note & eat responsibly! xo

Steps

1

Fill pot with water, add sea salt to taste, & bring to boil
2

Once boiling, add boxed pasta & dry pasta of choice. BOIL ONLY 4-5 MINUTES! (Do NOT add the cheese powder packets that come in the boxed Mac, you will use these later).
3

Drain the pasta in a collender & rinse with cold water to remove starch & stop the pasta from cooking any further. Do not transfer pasta back to pot; let it sit in the collender until the cheese sauce is ready.
4

Using the same pot that you boiled the pasta in, add the butter, sour cream, the 2 pouches of cheese powder from the boxes, the Velveeta (all slices of both kind), & the diced jalepeno.
5

Simmer on low and slowly add a little beer to thin out the consistency of the cheese
6

Simmer & stir until the mixture is creamy & lump free (keep adding beer [or more sour cream] AS NEEDED, don't go overboard though!)
7

Once creamy, add the crushed red pepper flakes, garlic & onion powder, and stir well into the cheesy goodness.
8

Once everything is well blended, slowly fold the pasta into the cheese mix by large spoon-fulls
9

Garnish with black pepper (if desired), and smash! 😁
