Macaroni & Cheese Casserole

I know, I know... the last thing this site needs is yet another mac & cheese recipe. Resistance is futile. I worship cheese and I cannot stop myself. The sad part is that I didn't actually measure anything, so this is my best guess before I totally forget what I did. I pray to the Cheese Gods that sometime in the future this recipe will turn out the way it did tonight.

Ingredients

3/4 lb large elbow macaroni

1 1/2 - 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (mix of orange and white)

1 can cream of potato soup

1/2 lb light sour cream (maybe slightly less)

1 pkg baby portabella mushrooms, sliced

1 large onion, diced

2 jalapenos, diced (optional)

1 pkg li'l smokies (tiny weiners, cut in half, also totally optional)

salt (or adobo spice mix)

pepper

parmesean, shredded (to taste)

bread crumbs
