Rooster sauce and cheese? Yes please…

The spicy garlic flavor of Sriracha hot sauce pairs nicely with cheesy mac and cheese. This recipe double dips on Sriracha: The Rooster sauce is in the cheese mixture and Sriracha powder is sprinkled atop the mac and cheese after cooking.

You can pick up McCormick Sriracha powder or, if you’re in the creative cooking zone, try your hand at making your own. All it takes is the hot sauce, a baking pan, an oven, and time. It’s our favorite hot sauce hack ever, and you’ll find yourself using that spice blend all the time on eggs, popcorn, meats, and more.
