elbow macaroni, butter (the original recipe calls for 9 tbsp. - i like to use 8 tbsp of unsalted - or 1 stick. you probably could get by with even less if you are so inclined...), shredded muenster cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded monterey jack cheese, feel free to up the cheese quotient. and invite me for dinner! ), half-and-half, cubed processed cheese food (don tsp be a velveeta snob like i was - this makes the sauce so darn cheesy/creamy. if you want to remain a v-snob, then go for cream cheese, but it won tsp be the same. but hey, it s your thang - do what you wanna do. heh.), eggs, beaten, salt, dry mustard, ground black pepper, any combination ), ground meat, browned (turkey, chicken, beef, pork), breakfast sausage such as jimmy dean regular or hot (browned and drained - 1 lb.), keilbasa or andouille (cut into chunks and browned in a wee bit of olive oil), fresh chorizo, casing removed, browned and broken up, onion, diced and sauteed until translucent, jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (for a milder taste, use poblano, or go crazy and use serranos or a habanero), crushed red pepper flake to taste, roasted red pepper, chopped, i have even added, artichoke hearts, drained and loosely chopped, cheesy note : another great cheese combo and 1 of my favorite spins is using shredded asiago, provolone, mozzarella and a sharp cheddar. delish, use a pepper jack cheese in the mix . or a smoked cheddar. i adore cheese and it all works for me and makes this recipe wonderful, comforting and lusciously decadent.
