Have made this quite a few times. Everyone eats plenty (I double the recipe). This time I forgot to check my cajun seasoning and I didn't have any. I substituted Jamaican jerk seasoning and it was just as good.

Kids took half the macaroni and cheese shells before it was added. Picky eaters. But I loved the whole recipe. Great addition to just plain old macaroni and cheese.

This was delish and easy to make! Definitely would make this again. I used a mac and cheese that had a cheese sauce rather than the cheese powder. And next time I think I'll add more cajun. I also added black beans. Great comfort food dish!

I made this for a superbowl party. I used extra meat in it and added extra cajun seasoning. It was on the spicy side but everyone loved it. Can't wait for the next party to make it again!
