I was messing around in the kitchen, making lunch, and came up with
this. It came out great. And hot.
I took the red chile macaroni that I just made (and just posted), made a
white sauce, added some shredded cheese and some pickled and fresh
chiles, and baked it. Ooooo...this was sooooo good.

Put up a big pot of water. When it comes to a boil, pour in the macaroni

package directions if dry. Drain. Set aside.
Spray a 8" square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Makes white sauce by adding white sauce mix to cold water and cooking,
whisking, for a couple of minutes until it gets thick like a bechamel
sauce. Add the chopped chiles, the nutmeg and a little salt.
Pour the white sauce/chile mixture over the cooked macaroni. Stir in the
cheese. Pour the whole thing into the brownie pan and sprinkle the bread
crumbs on top. Bake in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
