Two of your favorite game-day meals in one pot! Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese is a flavorful winner!
I’m one of those people who loves buffalo chicken but is not a big fan of buffalo wings. I love the taste, and I love chicken. But the whole buffalo chicken wing, no thanks. I also love macaroni and cheese. I don’t think there has been a pot of macaroni and cheese that I haven’t come across and NOT sampled. So, it’s only natural for me to want to stuff two of my favorite foods into one flavorful dish. Take buffalo chicken and mac-n-cheese and create the ultimate game-day mashup. I present to you: Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese.

This is an entire meal in a pot. It is a pot of delicious mac & cheese, combined with chicken and the tanginess and spiciness of buffalo wing sauce.

There is a complex, cheesiness to this dish since you are using three different varieties of cheese. Blue, cheddar, and Monterrey Jack. The level of spice is entirely up to you, depending on how spicy your Buffalo Wing Sauce is. I prefer to use Sweet Baby Rays. It has a good balance of flavors, and it is not so spicy that it negates the cheese flavors. Especially the blue cheese kicker.
Yes! You can make Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese ahead of time. It will keep for a few days if you refrigerate it in an airtight container. Just reheat it before serving the leftovers. This is a great dish for those potlucks and tailgate parties. Also, this recipe is perfect for game-day feasts at home.
Yes, you can freeze this recipe. Once you reheat it, you will probably want to give it a good stirring since some of the moisture from the pasta may have escaped while warming up.
This is certainly a hearty meal. And it can stand on its own without any additional side dishes. Having said that, if you are looking for some other tailgate winners, might I suggest:
