A spicy twist on traditional mac and cheese, this Buffalo Quinoa Mac and Cheese is loaded with flavor. The combination of buffalo sauce, blue cheese, and shredded chicken creates a mouthwatering dish that's perfect for those who love a bit of heat.
Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa. 2 cups water. 2 cups cooked shredded chicken. 1 cup buffalo sauce. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1 cup milk. 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles. 1/4 cup butter. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Chopped green onions for garnish.
Instructions: Use cold water to rinse the quinoa. Mix quinoa and water in a saucepan. Slowly raise the heat, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is done and the water is absorbed. Melt the butter in a big pan over medium-low heat. To make a roux, stir in flour. Whisk in the milk little by little until the mixture gets thick. Shred the cheddar cheese and mix it in until it melts and is smooth. Add the blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce and mix them in well. Add the cooked quinoa and chicken shreds and mix them in. Add pepper and salt to taste. Heat everything up and make sure everything is well mixed. Serve hot with chopped green onions on top. Have fun with your tasty Buffalo Quinoa Mac and Cheese!
