I love spicy food and especially that bottle of Sriracha! This time I added it to a classic baked macaroni & cheese recipe and that together with using crème fraiche instead of cream turned out really well. Mac and cheese is great for using up leftovers, here are 10 additional ingredients you can stuff it with:
- Bacon
- Broccoli
- Black beans
- Corn
- Shredded chicken
- Chorizo
- Pulled pork
- Peas
- Mushroom
- Spinach
