Buffalo Chicken Chili Mac for Olympians – Rachael Ray, I haven’t made this yet, but I saw it on the Rachael Ray show yesterday and it sounds delicious! She concocted this recipe for the US Olympics team , Ew – I am sorry, but this was so gross Maybe it was better when Rachel made it, but we were just not impressed Like other reviewers said, it makes a ton but we don’t want to eat the rest, nor will we make it again!, This is one of my favorite RR recipes! When I first saw her make it on the Rachael Ray Show I knew I had to make it asap! My hubby and I totally TOTALLY thought we could handle the 1/2 cup of hot sauce yeah we were sorely mistaken! lol But it still was delicious and we gobbled it up! We do make one change to the recipe We don’t cover it with cheeses we just sprinkle on what we want which makes reheating this a little bit easier Unless I’m blind I don’t see the blue cheese in this recipe The one I have from her newest cookbook calls for half a cup blue and half a cup pepper jack So we use sprinkle a mix of regular jack (the pepper is too much for us!) and blue The blue really makes this extra tasty b/c of the tang and seriously we don’t like blue cheese! Definitely try this one 🙂 You’ll be happy!
