There is no more tempting dish than a creamy Macaroni and Cheese in my book. This version adds in the spice of Mexican food and makes it mini to aid both in portion size as well as for fun. Using non-fat milk takes out some of the fat with no cost to the rich creamy texture. Mexican-spiced chicken and/or turkey sausage adds more flavor and also slims down the fat content. Served with a side salad and you have a perfect comforting meal.

*I used Applegate Fire-Roasted Red Pepper Chicken and Turkey sausage which uses red and jalapeno peppers as well as being organic and gluten-free. For those throwing caloric caution to the wind, 1 cup of cooked and drained chorizo sausage may be swapped out as well.
