Sriracha Honey Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

Macaroni

8 ounces

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons

All-purpose flour

2 tablespoons

Milk

2 cups

Cheddar cheese

2 cups, shredded

Sriracha

2 tablespoons (or to taste)

Honey

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute until smooth and bubbly.
3. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Add the sriracha, honey, salt, and pepper to the cheese sauce. Stir until everything is well combined and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
6. Fold in the cooked macaroni, ensuring that every piece is coated in the luscious cheese sauce.
7. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of extra sriracha and honey if desired, for an added kick and sweetness.
