Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 scallions
2 Poblano peppers
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons smoky Red Pepper Crema
12 ounce Cavatappi Pasta
2 tablespoons Southwest Spice Blend
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 tablespoons cream cheese
2 cups white cheddar cheese
3 ounces blue corn tortilla chips
1 cup Mexican cheese blend
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

Heat broiler to high. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and dice poblano into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince garlic. Place smoky red pepper crema in a small bowl. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Once water is boiling, add Cavatappi to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain
While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium heat (use a large pan for 4 servings). Add poblano and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons butter, scallion whites, garlic, and Southwest Spice; cook, stirring, until butter melts and scallion whites are softened, 1 minute.
Stir flour into pan and cook until pasty, 1 minute. Gradually stir in ¾ cup water until fully combined. Add cream cheese and cook, stirring, until fully incorporated and sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in cheddar until melted and smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Stir drained cavatappi into pan with sauce until coated. Taste and season with salt if needed. If mixture is too thick, add a splash more water. TIP: If your pan isn't ovenproof, transfer mixture now to a baking dish. Using your hands, crush tortilla chips and evenly sprinkle over mac 'n' cheese. Top with an even layer of Mexican cheese. Broil until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Drizzle mac 'n' cheese with smoky red pepper crema. Top with scallion greens and as much hot sauce as you like. Serve.

EASY DOUBLE CHEESY NACHO MACARONI

Easy Double Cheesy Nacho Macaroni image

Here's a quick family favorite the way my grandma always made it!! The secret is in the nacho cheese sauce. She always used the plain nacho cheese soup, so if you cant find the Fiesta style don't worry about it. She'd also use this real fat spaghetti type of noodle but i'm not sure what they're called. Sometimes I'll add a can of chili con carne topped with some pickled jalepenos for a super fast one bowl meal! So yummy!

Nacho Mac & Cheese - Yummy! image

My family loves mac & cheese and I try to come up with different ways to make it so it doesn't become the "same old same old" sort of thing. This one was inspired by the Nacho Dip I had made at Christmas.

YUMMIEST EVER BAKED MAC AND CHEESE

Yummiest Ever Baked Mac and Cheese image

A friend brought a big pan of this to a potluck and I HAD to have the recipe to make for my family. It is so yummy and creamy that it's hard to stop eating. We like it as a main dish with a salad, but you could serve it as a scrumptious side dish. These are directions for the full batch which will serve a crowd. It halves easily.

Time 1h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb elbow macaroni
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cheddar cheese soup
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
5/8 cup butter (1 1/4 sticks)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6 cups shredded cheddar cheese (medium or sharp, or a combination)
dried parsley (for sprinkling on top)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Cook pasta according to pasta directions just until done - you don't want it mushy, because it will absorb a little of the cheesy liquid in the oven.
Combine soup, evaporated milk, butter, salt, and pepper in a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent, and cook for 6-7 minutes until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm-to-hot throughout. (If making a half batch, 4 minutes in the microwave should do it).
In a large baking dish (minimum 9x13, smaller if halving the recipe), spread 1/3 of the cooked noodles. Top with 1/3 of the sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheddar.
Repeat layers twice, ending with the cheese.
Bake for 40-45 minutes.
When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle with a little dried parsley if desired. This gives it visual interest, and you can also pretend it's healthier.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
