Recipe: Delicious Creamy Five Cheese Mac and Sausage Delicious, fresh and tasty.
Creamy Five Cheese Mac and Sausage. My mother was a bit of a rebel with her macaroni and cheese in that she didn't believe in making a roux. Onions, red peppers, and sausage cooked with chili powder and cumin give a southwestern kick. Slow-cooked mushrooms and caramelized onions also.
This baked mac and cheese is a family favorite recipe, loved by both children and adults.
My version uses a combination of cheeses for a gloriously cheesy dish!
I love the flavor that ground sausage adds to mac and cheese and the fact that it makes it feel more like a main dish.
