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.

Categories     dinner     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

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!
