This was delicious, but I did some things differently. I added 1 TBSP Better than Bouillon, 1 tsp Secret Spice Remedy, 5 or 6 dashes of hot sauce & at the end, I stirred in 2 TBSP light cream cheese, right before the cheddar cheese. I used ⅔ of an onion as it seemed like plenty. I also used ground turkey & oat milk. If using small elbow macaroni, you'll need 3 cups (dried pasta).
