Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb mac and cheese
  • a pinch yellow onion
  • 4 oz garlic
  • 1/4 cup smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 cup kosher salt
  • 3 cloves cracked black pepper
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the mac and cheese dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the mac and cheese, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
