"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Make-Ahead Method:

Cook the pasta no more than al dente. Immediately rinse the cooked pasta with cold water to halt the cooking process and rid it of extra starch.

Combined all remaining ingredients in a saucepan and whisk together over medium heat until well-combined and smooth. Let it cool until just warm enough to the touch.

Combined the cool macaroni and sauce. Store in refrigerator up to two days, covered.

Add it to a casserole dish or Crock Pot and proceed as instructed. Note you may have to cook it a tad longer since it is starting off cold.
