Fiery Hot
Baked Cheese Macaroni

This amazing baked cheese macaroni recipe comes from a traditional family cookbook. Only in my version it is kicked up a notch with asian chili sauce.

You can serve this homemade macaroni and cheese recipe as a side for your favorite Thanksgiving recipe, or any other time of year with chicken or beef. And as a leftover, macaroni and cheese can be served as a meal all its own.
Now, I know the title of this baked cheese macaroni recipe is a mouthful, but once you try it you'll see why I could not leave a word out. The four cheeses and Huy Fong sauce make this my personal favorite macaroni and cheese recipe.

If you can't find the Huy Fong Chili Sauce at your local grocer, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of ketchup and 2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce. But, for this baked cheese macaroni recipe it is worth the effort to find some Huy Fong Chili Sauce. I know this sounds strange, but after you try it once you will be a believer.
