Directions
Jalapeno Macaroni & Cheese Casserole, A nice creamy comfort dish I like it best on a cold winter’s night with a good tequila lime chicken dish, but I’m sure you could have it anytime and it would be just as tasty! You may want to add some salt to this recipe I leave it out because my doc wants me to stay away from excess sodium , I was really excited to try this recipe out based on the scrumptious photo and a craving for mac n’ cheese Unfortunately, the final product turned into a nearly inedible mess Firstly, I would have halved the amount of breadcrumbs (and probably the flour) as well All the creaminess I savoured as I initially tasted the cheese sauce disappeared once I pulled the dish out of the oven Secondly, to echo previous reviewers, some seasoning would have really spiced this dish up I tried using two jalapenos instead of three, and it was still too spicy for me, but I won’t hold that against the recipe Overall, there was a lot of potential, but I’ll make some changes if I am to make this again , I am usually a very strict follower of recipes, but I was searching out a recipe that came close to a dish I ate in a restaurant last week This was the closest I found To give the recipe the punch I wanted, used 3 LARGE jalapenos and left in about 10 to 15 seeds I also used almost a full teaspoon of cayenne, and 7 or 8 cloves of garlic Used 3 green onions from my garden (the bottom few inches only) instead of half a small onion, sprinkled in some paprika, and added a 15 25 oz can of corn Left out the bread crumbs just because I had none I did not add salt other than to the water for noodles, and did not miss it at all I have the flavor totally where I want it (maybe too much garlic for others), and I am going to play with the cheese, milk and flour next time to get enough of a liquid where it will bubble while baking Might try tabasco sometime for a change of pace, but I am seriously in love with this spicy dish!!!
