Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon butter.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat while macaroni is cooking. Add flour and whisk until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in a little milk and continue whisking. Pour in remaining milk and add frozen spinach. Cook, whisking constantly, until spinach softens and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove sauce from heat and stir in 2 cups Cheddar cheese; whisk until melted. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Drain macaroni and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Cover with cheese sauce. Mix well. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and broil until a golden crust forms on top, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Spread butter, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, and garlic powder over chicken breasts on a plate or cutting board.
- Grill the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Pour penne into a colander to drain.
- Place the penne, chicken breasts, spinach, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes in the pot. Cook and stir over low heat until the spinach is wilted but still green, about 7 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Mix pasta into spinach-chicken mixture; toss well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just al dente. Drain and toss with a little butter or olive oil to keep from sticking.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to create a roux. Cook for a minute or so, whisking frequently, until mixture looks like wet sand. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly, until roux is incorporated. Whisk in Dijon. Add mozzarella, 16 ounces pepper jack and all but 4 ounces Parmesan. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is smooth and all the cheese has melted, the sauce is thick and you are able to draw a line through it on the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Add Spice Mix and hot sauce and stir again to make sure seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Combine the drained pasta with the cheese sauce in a large bowl, mixing well. Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 8 ounces pepper jack cheese and the Roasted Tomato quarters. Finish topping with the remaining 4 ounces Parmesan and Buttered Breadcrumbs. Bake until the top is bubbly and browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place salt, cayenne, chile powders, cumin and turmeric in a food processor and grind until well blended. Store in a sealed container.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place diced bread cubes in a bowl. Melt butter in a small saucepan and add parsley and garlic, stirring until garlic cooks slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over diced bread cubes and toss until blended. Place mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool. Place in a large plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until mixture is crumbly.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss cut tomatoes in a large bowl along with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and thyme. Place tomatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast until the tomato skins are blistered and wrinkled, 10 to 15 minutes. When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove skins and set aside.

Steps:
- Cook the Delia's Chicken Sausage on a very hot griddle until cooked through, about 10 minutes. On the same griddle cook the Mac 'n' Cheese until a cheesy crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the sausage on the hoagie roll. Place the grilled Mac 'n' Cheese next to the sausage and top with the collard greens and a drizzle of the Comeback Sauce. Serve hot.
- In a large bowl mix together the paprika, salt, sugar, garlic, red pepper, white pepper, black pepper, sage, cayenne, savory and thyme. Sprinkle the spices over the chicken, making sure the spice mixture is evenly distributed throughout. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Prepare the meat grinder with the coarse die for a coarse grind. Grind the chicken and let it fall into a large bowl.

- To make ground sausage patties, portion out the chicken mixture to 2 1/2-inch disks. Heat a griddle or grill pan over high heat. Coat the pan with vegetable oil and cook the sausage patties until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes on each side. Yield: 25 links
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the milk, half-and-half, sour cream and eggs, and mix together. Whisk in the flour, pepper and some salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the Cheddar and Parmesan. Add the pasta and gently stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes more. Yield: 24 squares
- In a large saucepot set over medium heat, sweat the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, salt, Worcestershire and jelly. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer, stirring often until the sauce reduces by one-third, about 20 minutes.
