Sriracha Mac And Cheese

Rooster sauce and cheese? Yes please. The spicy garlic flavor of Sriracha Sauce pairs nicely with cheesy mac and cheese. This recipe double dips on Sriracha: The Rooster Sauce is in the cheese mixture and the sauce (or Sriracha powder) is sprinkled atop the mac and cheese after cooking.
