EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Not a celery fan? Although it’s amazing warm in this, it’s also okay to omit it.

The cheese sauce will seem like too much for the macaroni, but it’s not. The baking dries it out a bit, so the amount of sauce is necessary for the creamy goodness of this dish.

Wow! This was delish! I followed the recipe (almost) exactly and it was great. I'm a baby when it comes to hot/spicy -- so 1/4 cup of the buffalo wing sauce was plenty. (I omitted the celery due to hating celery.) I did put more crumbled bleu cheese on top, because I'm a big bleu cheese fan. Thanks for a neat alternative to standard mac and cheese!
