Basi-bull has bean bery bery good to me

So baseball season has started. This is my favorite time of the year. Going to the ballpark and smelling the fresh cut grass, the smell of hot dogs, seeing fans spill their beer on themselves when they try to catch a foul ball, as well as the wiener races between innings. There is nothing better!

UNTIL NOW!!!

My favorite basbeall team is the Chicago White Sox. 2005 was the best year as we got to see them win the World Series. And then my good buddy from LA (who is a die-hard Indians fan...who by the way we beat in a 1 game playoff to take the division on the way to the World Series) sent me and my son official World Series jerseys as congratulations. But I digress....

Since we are White Sox fans, we loved going to THE CELL (U.S. Cellular Field). but instead of hot dogs we always, always, always got their Brats smothered in onions. We love Brats.

So as a tribute to the tasty Brat, I came up with a great dish that combines some of our favorite things; Brats and Mac 'N' Cheese. I call it Ballpark Mac 'N' Cheese. It was an instant hit with the family and so far everyone who has tasted it loves it as well. I had one friend ask to take the dish home one day so he could finish off the rest of it (I made a large batch that time)

This is what it looks like:

If you like the classic taste of mac 'N' Cheese and you love Brats with onions and peppers, then I'm sure you'll love this. It is great for a hearty supper, for potlucks and for those who may go tailgating at the ballpark, you can make this ahead and keep it covered and warm then break it open for your pre-game feast.

Here is the recipe:
