My two favorite things join forces to create my current meal obsession. Buffalo sauce. Mac & cheese. On their own, each is great. Together….they are unreal. Add in some Beyond Meat chicken strips and this could easily be one of the greatest things I’ve ever ate.
Not even close to kidding.
Beyond Meat is coming out with some amazing new products and I’ve got something exciting brewing with them, too. They are the ONLY faux meat products I use, and I’m crazy impressed with all the stuff they’ve got going on. I absolutely stalked every person who was lucky enough to be at Natural Products Expo West last week and across the board, everyone’s favorite booth seemed to be the Beyond Meat one. People were going nuts for their new Beast Burgers, but since my Whole Foods doesn’t have them yet, I settled on my go-to BM product-their chicken strips! Though I usually put them atop a salad, I splurged instead this time and created this addictive buffalo chicken mac and cheese. I used similar ingredients from my latest mac and cheese recipe, and this version was just as impressive.
Just typing this post is making me crave more. Gotta go get myself another bowl!
