Pork 'n' Mac 'n' Cheese

When all else fails, make mac'n'cheese and add some smoked pork to it.

The Best Mac 'n' Cheese Ever

1 family size box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (the fluorescent powder version, of course)
1/2 stick butter
1/4 c milk
1/2 can pinto beans or chili beans
2 handfuls of smoked pork
something spicy

Cook the pasta and drain. Add it back to the pan with the butter. Sprinkle on the powder cheese and milk and stir it all up. Add the beans and the pork and stir some more over low heat to heat it all through. Add something spicy and you've got yourself a helluva treat.

If you're adventurous with the spice, slice an habanero pepper in half and put it in with the other ingredients. Give it a good stir to warm the spice the whole thing through. In addition to hellacious heat, it has a great citrusy flavor. For god's sake, be careful, though; that sucker is hot. Take a piece in your bowl and rub some pork bits on the pepper every once in a while. That'll wake ya up in the mornin', boy. Don't forget the cold beer(s).
