Recipe Instructions

PRE-TRIP PREP: Freeze sausage in zip-lock bags before departure.

ON THE RIVER: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta per box directions; drain. While pasta cooks, slice and brown sausage in a separate skillet over medium-high heat until caramelized, about 5–6 minutes. Stir butter, milk, and cheese powder packets into drained pasta over low heat. Add shredded cheddar, diced tomatoes with green chilies, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper; stir until melted and creamy. Fold in browned sausage. Serve with hot sauce. A crowd-pleasing comfort dinner that travels well.
