I don’t suggest reducing it by more or you’ll loose the wonderful flavor it adds, and alter the thickness of the sauce. If you want to reduce the heat, you may omit 1/4 cup of the called for hot sauce. Buffalo Hot Sauce: We love Frank’s, but use whatever brand you love or have on hand.

Garlic: Adds fresh flavor! Do not sub garlic powder here, it will not give the same effect.Celery: Be sure to finely chop your celery so it blends in with the sauce, but doesn’t get in the way of the overall texture.Onion: Use a sweet yellow onion if you can find one, or a white onion will work fine.Flour: Our thickening agent! Be sure to use all-purpose flour here for best results!.Butter: Melted butter is cooked with our veggies to give them flavor, but also helps create our roux, which will thicken the sauce.Feel free to omit it desired, or sub diced pancetta! Bacon: I’ve never met a Mac and cheese that didn’t benefit from the addition of bacon! Not only does it add flavor, but it adds a great crunchy texture.Pasta: I used classic small elbow macaroni noodles, but you may use shells, shellbows, or large elbow noodles.But you can always add a dash at the end if you feel it needs it.

I don’t call for salt in the macaroni and cheese recipe because between the cheese, bacon, and hot sauce, it has a good amount of sodium.

Salt: Just a pinch to season the pasta water.
