Salsa Boxed Mac + Cheese
This might be my favorite souped-up mac and cheese recipe.
And it’s also the simplest!
Win-win!
All you need to do is add some chili powder and scallions!
Then top it with some tangy salsa!
It’s so easy, but mac and cheese and salsa just really love each other.
And my belly can't help getting in on this Lovefest, too!
