Buffalo Chicken Mac N Cheese


Yes, I am making something with a Buffalo chicken theme again. I can't resist. Plus this one is a tasty twist on an old classic.

Ingredients
1 package Elbow Macaroni
2 Tbsp. Butter
1/4 cup Flour
1 Tsp Garlic, minced
2 cups Milk
1 (8oz package) Shredded Cheddar
2 Chicken Breasts, cooked, diced
3 Celery Stalks, chopped
1/4 cup Buffalo Sauce- I used Frank's Buffalo.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Cook Elbow Macaroni according to package instructions. Drain.
3. Meanwhile, Melt Butter in large sauce pan. Stir in Flour and Garlic until well blended.
4. Stir in Milk. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in Cheese.
6. Mix Cheese mixture with Pasta. Add Chicken, Celery, and Buffalo Sauce.Stir until well blended and spoon into 13x9 baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes.


Featured Beer
I tried a Red Chair NWPA by Deschutes Brewery. This is what they are calling a Northwest Pale Ale. It has a ABV of 6.2% and is available during the Winter. I like this one because it has a slight bitterness and the flavor isn't overwhelmed by hops. It has a nice hint of citrus to finish off the aroma and flavor.
