On another web site, JavaJoe posted this variation on Steven Raichle's recipe. I copied it for my use. The photographs are also JavaJoe's.

Instructions
1. Cook the macaroni per the manufactures instructions (7 or 8 minutes)
2. Lightly oil the vegetables and flash sear them
3. Remove seeds and veins from the peppers
4. Dice the seared vegetables
5. Mix vegetables, garlic, 2 pats of butter, half and half, cooked macaroni and cheese in a large oiled cast iron skillet on the stove

You can improve on this recipe by replacing the Velveeta with your own smoked gouda cheese sauce. Search on the thread title Melting Salts for Melting Hard Cheese for instructions.
