Add the milk while stirring and continue to add cream, Dijon mustard, cream cheese, black pepper and salt.
4
Cook the mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon until it has reached a very slow simmer. Once it reaches a slow simmer, cook for 15 minutes while continually stirring.
5
Add the shredded Cheddar cheese and 1 ounce of Wisconsin Blue Cheese crumbles and continue to cook the mixture on medium-low heat until the cheese is melted.
6
Fold in the macaroni and then transfer macaroni and cheese to a baking dish.
7
Top with sliced grilled chicken and then drizzle Buffalo sauce over the top.
8
Top with remaining Wisconsin Blue Cheese crumbles, cover and place in the oven for 10 minutes at 350u00b0 F or until hot.
