Oh yes! This sounds delish! Will have to try this. I'm not a mac n cheese from scratch person but I think I can do this one and make it taste good, for a change.


Ohhh I like the idea of putting the hit of cayenne pepper in ...sounds good!


Hmmm! I use mustard instead of cayenne pepper usually, this sounds like a great variation!


Wonderful!


Easy and good! Love the cayenne! Who doesn't need a little zip in their life?
