I’ve always been a BIG fan of the Mac and Cheese so today when treating myself with a little not so good for you tailgating feast, I decided to create my own recipe for a MANly Macaroni and Cheese. A Reynolds Still exclusive!

5 oz. Pork Chorizo (Cacique)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
6 Tbsp. Butter

No. 2
While the pasta and chorizo are cooking, in a separate pot melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and slowly add the warm milk, Worcestershire, ground mustard, salt/pepper, sharp cheddar and processed cheeses whisking until well blended. Add cooked chorizo sausage and al dente macaroni mixing thoroughly with béchamel cheese sauce.
Add mixture to 9 x 13 baking dish topping with seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
Bon Appetit' Ya'll!
Best Regards,
Reynolds
