HOMEMADE HAMBURGER HELPER.
An adult mac and cheese. I made a few modifications:
- less cheddar, and more American cheese (I ran out of cheddar)
- half the called for amount of bacon (I ran out of bacon)
- strained the beef and bacon, and withheld both until the very end
- parsley instead of chives
- 1/4 c. Frank’s hot sauce + 1/2 t. homemade serrano pepper sauce.
This was pretty good! The big take-away was adding hot sauce to the the cheese sauce - so good! I made the full batch for the two of us, so we have leftovers for another day. Looking forward to those, and will definitely riff on this in the future.
