Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente and drain.
• In a large pan, cook sausage, crumbling it with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once no longer pink, remove it to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add onion, red pepper, and jalapeno to grease in pan and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Spoon onion mixture into bowl with sausage.
• Add the butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened. Turn heat off and add 2/3 of the cheese. Stir until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add pasta, and reserved sausage/onion mixture. Stir until evenly mixed. Pour into a buttered casserole dish or cast iron pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together and then stir in the remaining cheese plus the crumbled biscuits. Pour this mixture on top of the mac and cheese.
• Place in oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
