Fancy Mac & Cheese

I got off work late tonight, and didn't have much in the kitchen to work with... Mostly sandwich fixings, including different kinds of cheese and sausage. In the cupboard a box of Mac & Cheese. 

I always try to keep a few things around that will spice up most meals, and having  a few of those gourmet items to liven up otherwise bland and inexpensive meal plans can be very helpful. 

One of my comfort foods is Mac & Cheese. When I was young, and my mom was for some reason not able to make dinner for the night, my dad would always pull out a box of it, and it was SO good! He would make it with real butter and cut up hotdogs to mix in.

Tonight's late night dinner consisted of:

A box of Mac & Cheese

Chicken & Apple sausage 

Braided & marinated mozzarella (but any mozzarella will do)

Parmesan cheese

White Truffle oil

Butter

Cut up sausage and throw in a frying pan  with a little bit of the truffle oil until brown

Boil macaroni 

Melt butter in the microwave, add cheese mix and milk, and a little bit of mozzarella and Parmesan, with a bit more truffle oil. -Mix briskly with a fork

Drain macaroni, add back to pot, mix all ingredients together

Voila! Extra cheesy, indulgent, Mac & Cheese that tastes oh-so gourmet!

Enjoy!
