Green Chile Mac N Cheese

Creamy, comforting, cheesy spicy goodness!

This is a classic stovetop macaroni and cheese recipe made with a classic roux-based pepper jack cheese sauce that will satisfy all of your cheesy pasta cravings. It’s amazingly delicious on its own, but I love the green chile add-in!

MAC N CHEESE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ lb uncooked elbow macaroni , about 1 ½ cups

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 1/2 cup milk , any kind

  • 3/4 cup half and half

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese

  • 1 small can of mild or hot green chiles

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a square baking dish.

  • Cook the macaroni to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.

  • Slowly add the milk and half and half, stirring constantly, and cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the mixture is just barely thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, stirring just until melted. (add the green chiles if using now too)

  • Add the cooked macaroni noodles and toss to coat.

    Serve and enjoy!

    I do not like baked Mac N Cheese BTW!

So delicious with roasted asparagus and French Mustard Chicken.
