Is Hot Sauce in Mac and Cheese Good?

Quick answer: YES! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Who doesn’t love a creamy, gooey, piping-hot bowl of the all-time classic macaroni and cheese?

If you’re reading this blog, you’re likely are a huge hot sauce lover such as myself who can barely go any meal without dabbing your favorite pepper goodness onto whatever is on your plate.

I think there’s no better platform to spice things up by adding your favorite hot sauces to good old mac and cheese.

After having many combinations throughout the years, I came up with a list of five that I’ve found myself consistently going back to.

Read ahead to see these awesome choices for a unique, but satisfying hot sauce on mac and cheese experience!

Bravado Black Garlic Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce

Bravado Spice Co. Black Garlic

When you take savory black garlic, add it with one of the world’s hottest peppers, and add a drop of sweet maple, a star is born. The heat is strong, but not overpowering. Your taste buds will thank you on this one. Bravado Spice Co. always brings it with their sauce creations, and it should be no surprise to pepper sauce fans that they made this list.

Karma Sauce Extreme Smokey Karma

I love a good smoky flavor, and there’s no better hot sauce that embodies smoky that than Extreme Smokey Karma. With its butternut squash base, you won’t get a thin and vinegary disappointment. Instead, your mac and cheese will be blessed with a thick and flavorful hot sauce that adds an unbelievable new layer of depth and heat!

PepperNutz Jalapeno Hot Sauce

Rated 5.00 out of 5

$6.99

PepperNutz Jalapeño

I feel sometimes all a bowl of mac and cheese needs is just a straight jalapeño pepper flavor, and I found no better hot sauce than the jalapeño offering from PepperNutz to achieve this. The sauce contains just enough spice that even the most heat sensitive person can handle…and enjoy!

Fartley Farms Fart Murmur Scorpion Garlic Hot Sauce

Rated 4.67 out of 5

Fartley Farms Scorpion Garlic

If you love the flavor of jalapeño but need more heat and a sauce loaded with garlic on top of it, this hot sauce has that winning combination! I promise you that you will feel like you did get stung by a scorpion when you first have this, but the flavor is on point and mixes nicely with all types of cheese varieties you could choose for mac and cheese.

Paulman Acre Smoked Pepper Hot Sauce

Paulman Acre Smoked Pepper

Another fantastic smoked pepper hot sauce makes the list, but this one is not at all like Karma’s. Fruity flavors from mango, papaya, and pineapple combined with apple smoked habaneros give this hot sauce an interesting twist but it blends perfect with mac and cheese.

Best Hot Sauce For Mac and Cheese: In Conclusion

Hopefully you can tell from my picks that I like similar, yet a variety, of different hot sauces that mix in well with mac and cheese.

I can go extra hot with Bravado, Karma, and Fartley Farms.

If I want to dial it back, PepperNutz and Paulman Acre have me covered.

If I’m feeling garlic? That’s covered. Smoky? Yep, they’re there.

Pick up a couple, or all five, and let me know what you think!
