Wienie Mac and Cheese

Wieners were a staple in my house growing up.  We would add them to box mac and cheese for a delightful dinner.  This is the adult mac and cheese from scratch that I make when I am looking for those nostalgic childhood comforts.

Winnie Mac and Cheese

Bring water to boil in a 2 qt sauce pan or whatever size you like.  When water is boiling add macaroni and cook until done.   The box should have cooking directions if you need them.

When macaroni noodle are done drain water and add some butter.  Keep over low heat and add any or all of the following items.

Cream cheese, sour cream, and lots of cheese of any kind or flavor. (when I am feeling bold I add blue cheese)  Whatever your heart desires or your provisions provide.

I stir until everything is melted and hot.  Add the sliced up skin on Wieners to the mac and cheese.  If you don’t have wieners on hand you substitute in bacon, ground beef or tuna. 

Add spices to taste.  I will use chili pepper, garlic, paprika, parsley, hot sauce, sriracha and cilantro.  Remember this is Adult mac and cheese so go wild with the seasoning.  Taste it periodically and add more as needed.

Plate and garnish with more cheese and feel the comforts of your childhood.

Enjoy
