- In a large bowl combine cooked noodles and spicy cheese sauce, tossing until evenly coated.

Notes
If you prefer less spice, use 505SW™ Mild Green Chile Sauce.
The mac & cheese may seem super saucy when you put it in the oven but the noodles will continue to absorb liquid as it is cooked.
To make ahead, complete the recipe but do not put it in the oven. Cover with foil and freeze or refrigerate until ready to use. To heat, place in the oven covered in foil for 40-60 minutes or until heated through.
