A comforting and flavorful casserole combining the spicy kick of buffalo chicken with creamy mac and cheese, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a potluck gathering.
Ingredients: 8 oz macaroni pasta. 2 cups cooked shredded chicken. 1 cup buffalo sauce. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/4 cup diced celery. 1/4 cup diced red onion. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 2 tablespoons butter. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375F 190C. Cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Grease a casserole dish with butter. Spread half of the cooked macaroni on the bottom of the dish. Layer half of the buffalo chicken over the macaroni, followed by half of the mixed cheese, diced celery, red onion, and green onions. Repeat the layers with the remaining macaroni, buffalo chicken, mixed cheese, diced celery, red onion, and green onions. Drizzle blue cheese dressing over the top layer. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
