This is my favorite macaroni and cheese recipe. You can adjust the amounts of paprika, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper to suit your tastes. I like spicy food so the recipe as it is written is spicy.
Spicy Smoky Macaroni & Cheese with Turkey Bacon -
1 lb. medium shell pasta
10 slices turkey bacon
1 - 16-oz. package Velveeta cheese product
3/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. fat free half & half
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. plus 1/8 tsp. smoked paprika
Cook shells according to package. Drain well and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, cook the turkey bacon in the microwave until crispy. Allow to cool slightly, then crumble; set aside. In the same pot as the pasta, add the half & half, heavy cream and cubed Velveeta and cook over medium low heat stirring constantly until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat. Add cayenne pepper, paprika and smoked paprika to the cheese sauce and blend well. Add the turkey bacon and mix. Add the shells back to the pot and stir to combine the shells with the cheese sauce.
Enjoy...
