Spicy Sausage Mac 'n Cheese

So when you don't really feel like cooking this is a good old faithful that is easy and never lets you down.  I have included some spicy sausage today which I had in the fridge, making it a great lunch.  You can also include bacon, mushrooms or really anything to 'spice-it-up. Here we go ... (suitable for 3 - 4 foodie lovers)
