Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese

I'll admit that normally I do not care for buffalo wings or wings in general.  It's a little too messy for me.  But I do enjoy other buffalo flavored things, such as this buffalo mac and cheese I've just made!  Seriously tastes like the real deal and took no time at all!

Buffalo Mac and Cheese

1 box noodles, cooked
2 c. chicken cubed
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1/4 c. bleu cheese dressing
1/2 c. Frank's Red Hot Sauce
2 T. milk
bleu cheese crumbles for topping

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Got to have protein, right?

Last night in preparation, I baked two chicken breasts, and then cubed almost all of it up.  I wanted to save half of a breast for another lunch during the week.

Cheese with a kick!

To make the sauce, combine the cheddar soup, dressing, hot sauce and milk.  You can use as much or as little hot sauce as you'd like.  But I also suggest altering the dressing as well because we all know that stinky cheeses are powerful too.

Nearly ready!
I mixed the chicken, sauce and noodles together in a large bowl.

Ready to go!

Then, I poured the whole thing into my baking dish.  I topped the mac and cheese with bleu cheese crumbles and what was left of my breadcrumbs.  You could say I splurged a little this week buying the crumbles.  I had a nice pay day.  Then it was to be sent in the oven for 30 minutes.

Baking it brought out the actual blue color in the cheese.

While I might like to make my apartment smell interesting on weekend mornings, this is definitely a keeper!  And I'm not trying to make my ego swell, but seriously this is great!

Lunch and dinner for the rest of the weekend!
