spicy mac'n'cheese

Two things I love are spice and mac'n'cheese. When you put them together, you get a spicy party in your mouth. I'd like to think of myself as a connoisseur of macaroni and cheese. Cheese, pasta, cream, and butter are the main ingredients in any comfort food. I have been making this recipe for almost 4 years now, and have had no complaints from the people who I have served it to. You can feed a lot of people with this recipe, I am hoping that my roommate Joey (a.k.a. human garbage disposal) will be in the mood to have at least 3 helpings.
