    Recipe Introduction


    This delicious macaroni and cheese gets lots of extra flavor from the spicy andouille sausage and Cajun seasonings. Serve with a salad or sliced tomatoes for a perfect family meal. Feel free to use another type of smoked sausage in this recipe, like a chicken sausage or chorizo.

    List of Ingredients




    Andouille Mac 'n Cheese


    7 to 8 ounces wagon wheels or other small pasta shapes
    1 to 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
    12 to 16 ounces andouille sausage, thinly sliced
    1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
    6 to 8 green onions, thinly sliced
    2 cloves garlic, finely minced
    4 tablespoons butter
    1/4 cup flour
    1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
    1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 1/3 cups milk
    3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

    Recipe




    Heat the oven to 350°.

    Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.

    Cook the pasta following package directions.

    Drain well in a colander and rinse with hot water.

    Set aside.

    In a skillet over medium heat with just enough oil to coat the bottom, cook the sausage with bell pepper until lightly browned and bell pepper is softened.

    Add green onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes longer.

    Remove sausage mixture to a plate or bowl.

    Add the butter to the same pan and heat over medium heat until melted and frothy.

    Add the flour and stir until smooth.

    Add Cajun seasoning and pepper.

    Gradually stir in the milk and cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbly.

    Stir in 2 cups of the cheese and cook, stirring, until melted.

    Spoon into the prepared baking dish.

    Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted.
