Student Style Buffalo Chicken Mac And Cheese

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 7
• 2 (7 1/4 ounce) boxes macaroni and cheese mix
• 2 (12 1/2 ounce) cans chicken, drained
• 1/2 cup frank's red hot sauce (or other hot sauce, i guess. franks though! best! i use more than this, i really enjoy it)
• 1 cup cheese, shredded (i prefer cheddar)
• 1/3 cup bleu cheese salad dressing
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375.
• 2 prepare mac and cheese according to box instructions (i didn't include the ingredients the box might call for, since they're all different).
• 3 while mac and cheese is cooking, mix chicken with hot sauce and blue cheese. i broke up the bigger chunks of chicken to make it more consistent, but that's up to you.
• 4 in a 9x12 dish, pour about half the mac and cheese.
• 5 add the chicken/hot sauce/blue cheese in another layer, and cover with the rest of the mac and cheese.
• 6 add about half of the shredded cheese and mix a bit, so the layers aren't precise but still somewhat there.
• 7 sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
• 8 bake for about 20 minutes.
• 9 optionally, sprinkle the remaining ingredients (y'know, the optional ones) on top. (now, i'm no expert. i've made this once and i did this part half way through cooking, but i suppose i could've done it at the beginning).
• 10 bake for another 20 minutes or so. i chose arbitrarily, when it seemed completely heated through.
• 11 serve! i served it with salad, because it's definitely pretty heavy with all that cheese and pasta. enjoy.
