MEXICAN STYLE MAC AND CHEESE



Mexican Style Mac and Cheese image

This pasta recipe is very quick and easy to prepare, and it's also a very popular recipe for kids! Mac and Cheese is not a traditional Mexican recipe, but it has somehow been adopted in many Mexican homes and is a favorite at children's parties and other types of celebrations.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces "La Moderna" macaroni
1 teaspoon of salt
¼ of a medium size onion
1 large garlic clove
1 bay leaf
8 cups of water
1 roasted red bell pepper*
8 ounces shredded or cubed cheddar cheese or American cheese
1 cup evaporated milk**
2 tablespoons of butter
Salt and pepper
Red crushed pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Place water, salt, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a saucepan. Turn heat to medium-high. Once the water starts boiling, add the pasta. Cook for 10 minutes. Drain and reserve the onion and garlic.
  • Place cheese, roasted bell pepper, evaporated milk and reserved onion and garlic into your blender pitcher. Process until you have a smooth sauce. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn it. Once it has melted, add the cheese and bell pepper sauce. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the pasta with the sauce and cook for another 2 more minutes, just enough time to mix well.
  • Serve immediately. Add some crushed pepper, if desired. If you don't plan to serve it right away,
  • add a couple of tablespoons of milk when reheating, since the sauce tends to get dry when cold.

EASY MEXICAN MAC AND CHEESE



Easy Mexican Mac and Cheese image

Creamy, cheesy, spicy...and cooks up easily in your crockpot even if you don't have a kitchen. At your desk at work? Yes! Anywhere with an electrical outlet! This is not one of those "dump and go" recipes as you can't leave your crockpot unattended, but a tastier alternative to boxed mac and cheese. It is not, however, better texture or taste than from-scratch mac and cheese on the stove. This recipe was created for a crockpot cooking contest and truthfully, you will love it even more it you make the recipe in a pot on the stove. You can always transfer to a crockpot for party-style serving. Enjoy!

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
1/2 cup mexican lager beer (such as Corona)
4 slices bacon, diced
10 ounces rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (not drained)

12 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, cubed (I used one and a half 8 oz. blocks of KRAFT Natural Pepper Jack)
green onion, sliced
tortilla chips, crushed

Steps:

  • SPRAY crockpot with cooking spray.
  • DUMP pasta, then all other ingredients (except garnishes) in your crockpot.
  • COOK ON HIGH for at least 45 minutes without disturbing; from that point on, stir every half hour or so, checking to see if the pasta is done (based on the reviews it can take anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours). When your pasta is cooked, proceed to Step #4.
  • SERVE -- topped generously with green onions and crushed tortilla chips! Be sure to turn off the crockpot or switch to the warm setting, so the pasta doesn't get mushy.
