Mizado Mac & Chorizo
Note: If you bake the mac and cheese while each ingredients is still warm, it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes for cheese to begin bubbling and the bread crumbs to turn golden on top. If you refrigerate before baking, wait to add topping until just before putting it in the oven and expect longer cooking time. Want the top darker? Run it under the broiler for a few minutes.
