Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Prepare pasta as directed for al dente. You still want the pasta to have bite when done. Immediately drain and rinse with cold water. Drain well. Place pasta back on empty pot it was cooked in.
- 2
Meanwhile, slice sausages into rounds, 1/2 " thick. Set aside.
- 3
Place milk in a saucepot and heat on low heat. Do not let it simmer or scald.
- 4
In a deep wall frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. As soon as it's melted, add flour and mix well. Stir constantly until flour mixture starts to brown and smell slightly nutty. This is your roux.
- 5
Slowly add warm milk to the roux, a half cup at a time. Whisk constantly. Make sure it all completely incorporates before adding more milk. Continue until all milk is incorporated.
- 6
Add half of each cheese into the sauce and stir constantly until melted in. Season to taste. I made mine fairly smoky with the paprika. If the cheese sauce has tickened too much, bring it back with a little more milk. You want it nice and creamy because the pasta will thicken it in the oven.
- 7
Mix the cheese sauce and the sausage into the pasta. Mix well.
- 8
Preheat oven to 375. Add mixture to 2 greased 8x8 baking dishes. Mix the remaining cheese together and top both casseroles. Top with parmesan bread crumbs. Bake 15-25 minutes. Until top is golden brown and casserole is heated through. When done, rest 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Easy mac n cheese! Easy mac n cheese!
I used penne pasta instead of elbow Macaroni n I think it came out just as good. U can add bread crumbs to this recipe. If you choose too mid way through cooking cover mac n cheese with foil so the bread crumbs don't burn. U can also add bacon, ham or tomatoes before putting it in the oven as well. ;)

Chorizo Mac n Cheese Chorizo Mac n Cheese
I love the spicy, smoky flavor of Chorizo and EVERYONE loves the world's favorite comfort food. I made a version of this recipe last Thanksgiving, and it was a hit, but I was unsatisfied because I felt that the roux takes away from the savory flavors of the cheeses added. Hence, some research revealed to me the magic of Sodium Citrate, which makes a roux unnecessary and results in a super cheesy flavor. If Chorizo is not your thing, you can add whatever you like, to this delicious mac-n-cheese. duffydyer -

This is a quick, creamy macaroni and cheese with a little extra. Adding the sausage, peppers and onions makes this a full meal. Experiment with different types of cheese that melt well: cheddar gouda, fontaine, provolone, swiss, gruyere, muenster, jack, etc. I used gouda in the pictures.
