Leftover Crack Dip Mac-n-Cheese

So, remember that crack dip I posted last week?  You know…everyone’s favorite dip…the one that disappears in a flash…the one you always have to triple the recipe for?

Well, something strange happened on New Year’s Eve.  I found myself, with last minute notice, cooking a ton of food for some people who were coming over.  I made way too many dishes and entirely too much of everything.

(yeah, I know, those of you who know me are now saying, that’s not strange…making enough to feed an army is your MO!)

Anyway, there it was…leftover crack dip.  A lot of it.  An enigma!

So I figured the only thing that could make it better is…pasta.  Right?

Right.

Leftover Crack Dip Mac-n-Cheese
because hey, you never know…there may actually be some leftover!

2 cups leftover crack dip
1 box pasta (I used elbows…use whatever you like), cooked al dente, drained
panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place dip in a large bowl and microwave until just heated through, so it can easily be stirred.  Add pasta to bowl and stir to combine.

Pour mixture into an 8×8 square pan.  Sprinkle panko crumbs on top and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
