Jalapeño Popper Mac 'n Cheese

Updated: May 25, 2023

Made this last night for friends- served with a spicy jalapeño/lime marinated steak, Brava Steak. It was delicious!


Ingredients:

Salt and pepper

1 pound hollow, ridged corkscrew pasta, such as cavatappi

Extra-virgin olive oil

3 jalapeño chiles, seeded and thinly sliced

2 Serrano chiles, seeded and thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 1/2 cups whole milk

8 ounces cream cheese

2 tablespoons dried minced onion, or onion powder

2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese


Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.


In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the jalapeños, Serranos first (garlic after a few minutes) and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add to the pasta.


Preheat the broiler. In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese and onion over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth, 5 minutes; stir into the pasta. Stir in the jack cheese; season with a good amount of salt and pepper.


Transfer the pasta to a baking dish and broil until browned, about 3 minutes.
