Hot Paprikash Mac & Cheese

For a fiery remix of our beloved mac & cheese, we turn to Hungarian paprikash. This dish typically consists of tender braised chicken in a creamy, sweet paprika sauce. Smoky Spanish paprika turns up the heat, while silky sour cream creates a rich, bold, and cheesy sauce.
