“Mac and cheese, PLEASE!!!!!”, so says Mr. Blaise. Who could resist that request? I set to work to concoct a super cheesey-riffic mac and cheese for my little buddy and came up with these ooey-gooey results.
Green Chile Mac (Shells) and Cheese
Just a few notes:
- When buying your cheese, do not go with pre-shredded. I know, it’s super tempting. Cheese graters are boogers to clean. But, the pre-shredded cheeses are sprayed with potato starch to help the shreds from sticking in the packaging so it will alter the texture of your cheese sauce for the ultimate mac and cheese.
- I made this mac and cheese with green chilies added in for flavor, but they can be omitted if you like. Of course, feel free to get crazy and add in other things: jalapeños, pimentos, BACON…oh, shoot! Why didn’t I put bacon in this? Next time…
- Shells are not the required pasta for this mac n cheese. Prefer a different shape? It’s totally your call.
- This recipe makes for rockstar leftovers. Throw the tupperware of this stuff from the refrigerator into the microwave for 3 minutes and it will be just as good as the day before.
