For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese sauce. If you don't have bison sausage, Italian sausage with pepperoni seasoning will work well. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends to suit your taste. A sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top and a quick broil in the oven adds a delightful crispy texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCook the elbow macaroni according to package directions. During the last 3 minutes of cooking time, add the chopped green bell pepper (or frozen peas). Drain well, cover, and set aside to keep warm. (Total time: ~8-10 minutes)
02
StepWhile the pasta cooks, prepare the cheese sauce. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and translucent. (Total time: ~5 minutes)
03
StepStir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and bubbles gently. Cook, whisking, for an additional 2 minutes. (Total time: ~5-7 minutes)
04
StepReduce the heat to low. Add the cheddar/Colby Jack cheese blend and the mozzarella cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (Total time: ~3-5 minutes)
05
StepStir in the chopped bison pepperoni sausage. Add the cooked macaroni and green pepper (or peas) to the cheese sauce. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated. Heat through, stirring occasionally, until everything is warmed. Serve immediately. (Total time: ~2-3 minutes)
