Jalapeño Macaroni and Cheese image

This is a version of Jimmy Buffet's Macaroni that they serve at Margaritaville. Made this last night along with bbq ribs. Was a big hit. I made it as the recipe states as this was my first try. I think I will cut down the juice and up the cajun seasoning next time. It is a good and spicy macaroni and cheese. So if your looking for traditional, this is not it. If your looking for a macaroni and cheese to spice up dinner try it!
