BUFFALO MAC AND CHEESE BWW RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Butter a 9”-x-13” baking dish. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium pot over medium. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly add milk to flour mixture, while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat and stir in cheeses until fully melted. Stir in ranch dressing and buffalo sauce and season with salt and pepper. Fold pasta and crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture and scrape into the prepared baking dish.  Toss panko with melted butter and sprinkle on top. Bake until bubbly and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with chives and more hot sauce before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently to break up any clumps, for 5 minutes, or until the roux is light golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium, then slowly pour in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
• Remove the pot from the heat, add the mild cheddar cheese, and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and toss to coat well.
• Transfer half of the mac and cheese mixture to the prepared skillet. Top with 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, then the remaining mac and cheese and remaining cup of sharp cheddar.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded rotisserie chicken and Frank’s® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce. Spoon on top of the mac and cheese.
• Bake the mac and cheese for 30–35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling around the edges of the pan. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
• While the mac and cheese bakes, make the celery ribbons: Using a vegetable peeler, peel the backs of the celery stalks lengthwise into ribbons. Transfer the ribbons to a large bowl filled with ice water and let sit for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Drizzle the mac and cheese with more Frank’s® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce and the ranch dressing, then top with the crumbled blue cheese, red onion, scallions, and celery ribbons.
• Enjoy!
