I saw a recipe on MyRecipes.com for a chicken macaroni and cheese. Â I made a few adjustments to make it the perfect side for ancho onion skirt steaks. That means, I kicked up the spice a notch and put in a hint of smoke.
Recipe
Mexican Mac and Cheese:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a dutch oven over medium heat
- Add 1/2 large yellow onion, 3/4 of a green pepper and 1 jalapeno pepper and cook until softened – 5 minutes
- Stir in 1 – 14.5 oz can of tomatoes with green chilis and 1 – 4 oz can of green chilies and simmer for 2 minutes
- Add in 1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup, 1 tsp chili powder & 1/2 tsp of ground cumin
- Stir in al dente rigatoni pasta, mix well and spoon in to a baking dish
- Cover with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese & 1/2 cup of smoked gouda
- Bake for 25 minutes and serveÂ
Yum, this is right up my alley – I bookmarked it!
This was so tasty. Let me know how it goes if you make it?
