SPICY CHICKEN AND BACON MAC



Spicy Chicken and Bacon Mac image

I've been working to perfect a creamy, spicy mac and cheese for years. After adding smoky bacon, chicken, jalapenos and spicy cheese, this is the ultimate! I use rotisserie chicken and precooked bacon when I'm pressed for time. -Sarah Gilbert, Aloha, Oregon

Less dishes, less time, equals a happy MAMA! This is also great with some cooked ham rather than chicken!

Some green veggies like peas or broccoli would be a great addition here too! Consider this recipe as a spark to light your creativity!
