This is some of the easiest mac & cheese I have ever made, and so unique. My 4yr old daughter thought it was too spicy (for a kid I suppose it could be, not that spicy though).

Loved it, was so good. I bought creamed corn by mistake and this was a great way to use it. Loved the flavor and kick the salsa added to plain mac and cheese. Wonderful.
