 Hey y'all, it's Timmy. We have Colored Valley Cooks and Christmas Fishin' and I am making buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. Does that sound good? Buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. So I've got my sweet baby raised buffalo wing sauce. Of course, I got some cheese y'all. This is gonna have cream cheese, feta cheese, creamy melted cheese. Cheese, cheese and more cheese. And a little garlic, it's gonna be really good. So the first thing we're gonna do to get started is start heating up our milk in the microwave. We're gonna be using six cups of milk. So it's good to see everybody, but we're gonna head to the table so y'all can look at the food, all right? This is the first dish that Amy made in her new apartment, my daughter. So I said, I'm gonna make that for Chris. I am going to take my batter bowl and I'm gonna put in six cups of milk. And we're gonna stick this in the microwave and let's start heating up. Now, the bad thing about that is that it winds in the background and there's nothing I can do about it because when you cook, noise is made, okay? So I'm gonna take this over here, stick it in my microwave while we do a couple more things. I'm gonna put it on seven minutes and maybe by the time that gets done, we'll be ready. So this is what all we're gonna put in here, all right? We're gonna put in two and a half cups of cheese, cheddar cheese. Well, I chose what I already got in the refrigerator which is Monterey Jack, Colby and cheddar. It's just a creamy melt blend. So we're gonna put in two and a half cups of that. I'm thinking it's gonna be the whole pack, which is eight ounces, yep. So an eight ounce bag of cheese, okay? Now we're gonna put in a block of cream cheese. What? That sounds good, don't it? So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna just cut it into little pieces like this, let it fall down in there. And that's the main reason I'm heating up the mill because I want this cheese to be creamy blended in my mixture before I put it in my casserole dish. We're gonna bake this in the oven. Now, feta cheese. This is a six ounce container of feta cheese. If you don't like feta cheese, no, you don't have to put it in there. But if you like it, throw some in. I'm gonna put in about a half cup of feta. And you can put the whole thing in there if you want to, all right? Smells good already. Salt and pepper. Now, the cheese is salty already. So I'm just gonna add enough salt for the pasta and the chicken. So let's say about a teaspoon. And pepper, at least, I would say another teaspoon. Why? Because it's good. Wing sauce. We'll put this in there after we melt our cheese in the milk. And the only other ingredient, this is so easy, y'all. Super easy. Super five. And it goes in the oven and you can go do something else. Couple of cloves of garlic, several, okay? So just take your garlic, smash it on the counter. Smash and mash. Smash and mash. Let's do three, because Chris likes it. And of course you can omit just about anything in this recipe, except don't omit the amount of pasta and cheese. If you want to use one kind of cheese, just replace it with another kind. But don't omit your amount of cheese and don't substitute the amount of milk or pasta. Anything else you can add or take away for the moment. Started cutting stuff up on my countertop. And I told Chris he was just gonna have to deal with it. We could always refinish it if he wants to. But since it's a good recipe, Amy says, my daughter, this is my daughters, that when she first made this, they said, she said, they said, don't put the chicken in it and tell it back to the oven, then stir the chicken in at the end. Not sure why, but that's what they tell us to do, so that's what we're gonna do. You can use a rotisserie chicken, you can use some chicken you already had cooked, like off of a chicken breast or a whole chicken, however you want to do it, but you're gonna add your chicken in at the end and it's just chicken pieces. It's not bone in chicken or nothing because it is mac and cheese. So this is how I figured out how much macaroni I had. And so I thought I'd show y'all today while we're waiting on our milk to get warm. This is actually my weighing scale for my mail, what I mail y'alls cookbooks and stuff. You can see right now it's on zero. And so I put my bowl on top of it and the bowl weighs a little over a pound. So I just press the zero button, it cancels it back to zero and then I add my pasta. Well, I only have seven ounces of pasta and I'm supposed to have a pound of pasta. So I'm gonna add, I've got some whole grain noodles. And I've got to do this, you don't have to because you've probably got to think of pasta. I'm missing it by one ounce. But we're gonna pretend that it's a pound of pasta, okay? So I just thought I'd show y'all how I was figuring out how much pasta I had because I didn't have a box of pasta. Well, you know, we don't always have everything we need when we make a recipe, but if we don't, we make it work anyway. So you can see our delicious cheese, salt and peppers in there. I'm gonna mix the cheese up in the milk before I add the pasta. So let's go ahead and throw our garlic in there. That's not gonna hurt anything. Garlic's in, that's everything. Besides our buffalo sauce, we're gonna be using a half a cup of buffalo sauce. She said the recipe called for a quarter cup and it just didn't taste enough buffalo to her. She says, mommy, use at least a half cup. I said, okay, pour up a half cup. I put in a little extra. Crystal wanted spicy anyway. All right, here's our warm milk going in of milk, y'all. And I chose to warm it up in the microwave because I wanted all the cheese to melt in it. And of course, this is my recipe, the part that I'm telling you to do so that this cheese gets in there good. This cream cheese is already melting in there. All right. So now we're gonna add the buffalo sauce, plenty of it. And we're gonna add our pasta. I'm gonna try to whisk this and just see what happens. See if we can whisk that cheese in there a little bit. I'm just doing it, but I want a hunks of cream cheese in one spot inside my mac and cheese, some feta cheese. I think it's good now. I just wanted the cream cheese to be mixed up in there good. Let go, cheese. Creamy melt, it's stringy. Let's put in our macaroni first. How simple is that? Pretty easy, huh, y'all? Throw it in there. And I'm not putting my chicken in because she says you're not supposed to. Now we're going to put it in my baking dish. Hope I got it big enough when she said it made a lot. I think you're just supposed to put your chicken on top and serve it. So here we go. Into the oven, it goes. And I'm gonna cook it at 350 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes. Or you might as well say an hour to be safe, all right? So you're gonna cook this in the oven for about an hour. She didn't really tell me how long to cook it, so I'm gonna say an hour. And we're gonna get it out, put some chicken on the top and eat it for supper. Hey y'all, it's Timmy and we're back. And the macaroni and cheese looks delicious. It's bubbling in the oven. I'm picking off some chicken off of rotisserie chicken to go on the top of it and we'll mix it in there. So I'm gonna let Chris show it to you how pretty it is in the oven. Then we're gonna get it out and stir it up. Hot. Chris is hungry. Now what I've had today is some cereal, so I'm hungry too. Gotta clean my fingernails. I got me too fresh right here. Rotisserie chicken. Easiest way to make this is just to buy a rotisserie chicken. That's what my kids did, and that's what I did today. I went and got a rotisserie chicken while it was in the oven. I turned it down to 300, so I could. I wanna put it right here so y'all can see it good. Let me get some. All of the cheddar cheese is on the top. That looks good. You know, that's all the sauce floated to the top. Let's dip in here and see how it looks. It looks good, don't it? It's got feta, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Yummy. The only thing that don't have in it is butter, which is fine, because it's got enough of everything else. All right, so now you're just supposed to eat it with your chicken, so we're just gonna put it on the plate for y'all to see it. Put our chicken on top of it. And this is buffalo chicken macaroni and cheese. Looks good, don't it? Here, let me get something to get the chicken. Come here. You can come around here, buddy, so you can see better. So now you just serve it with some chicken. You can stir it up if you want to in it. Now, I'm curious to see how spicy it is and how hot. Now, just come out of the oven and I don't wanna get burned. That's delicious. So the macaroni is spicy. Yes, yes, and it's got a kick to it. Half a cup worked good. I think it's just right. If you ask the question, why didn't you put your chicken in there, because it don't really have room for it for your mac and cheese to get done and good and soft. So if you want it in there, just mix it in there at the end, okay? It's really, really good, y'all. We appreciate y'all watching Colored Valley Cooks and now me and Chris get to eat. Thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks where we cook like mama did. Love y'all, bye-bye.
