Creamy stovetop Buffalo Mac and Cheese is a seriously one the best meal you can make for yourself! Okay fine maybe its perfect for other occasions too, such as game day, thanksgiving or any other event you want to make up just so you can enjoy this delicious, creamy, spicy Mac and cheese!! It’s made with spicy buffalo cheese that I recently purchased and can not get enough of. I had the cheese with some crackers but I was like this cheese deserves more then a cracker, it deservers a whole recipe after it, so long story short I used Cabot’s spicy buffalo cheese and created this delicious Mac and cheese.

Notes

  • I used Cabot’s spicy buffalo cheese, but traders joes has their version as well.
  • If you can not find any buffalo cheese, replace it with equal amounts of cheddar cheese and double the amount of buffalo sauce to the recipe.
  • I used capatavi pasta for this recipe but feel free to use any pasta of choice.
