NO MILK Cheater Mac n Cheese

1. 1

   Fill pot with water, add sea salt to taste, & bring to boil

2. 2

   Once boiling, add boxed pasta & dry pasta of choice.

3. 3

   BOIL ONLY 4-5 MINUTES!

4. 4

   (Do NOT add the cheese powder packets that come in the boxed Mac, you will use these later).

5. 5

   Drain the pasta in a collender & rinse with cold water to remove starch & stop the pasta from cooking any further.

6. 6

   Do not transfer pasta back to pot; let it sit in the collender until the cheese sauce is ready.

7. 7

   Using the same pot that you boiled the pasta in, add the butter, sour cream, the 2 pouches of cheese powder from the boxes, the Velveeta (all slices of both kind), & the diced jalepeno.

8. 8

   Simmer on low and slowly add a little beer to thin out the consistency of the cheese

9. 9

   Simmer & stir until the mixture is creamy & lump free (keep adding beer [or more sour cream] AS NEEDED, don't go overboard though!)

10. 10

    Once creamy, add the crushed red pepper flakes, garlic & onion powder, and stir well into the cheesy goodness.

11. 11

    Once everything is well blended, slowly fold the pasta into the cheese mix by large spoon-fulls

12. 12

    Garnish with black pepper (if desired), and smash!
